Bug description:
Impact
======
Saved passwords are accessible by HTTP sites in epiphany 3.18.10-0ubuntu1 for
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 3.22.5-0ubuntu0.1 for 16.10 and older versions. This means
that a man-in-the-middle fake version of a website could capture your password
by presenting say a fake http://facebook.com/
This is made worse because Javascript can be used to collect filled-in
form data even if the user has not clicked Submit yet.
This is made worse because Epiphany doesn't yet respect the HSTS
headers which force sites that have opted in to be only available via
HTTPS.
Test Case
=========
Regression Potential
====================
Low. The fix is to move all already saved passwords to be associated with
https. Users will need to enter this password in again if the site is HTTP
only. This is disruptive if the only place the user has saved the password is
in Epiphany. Websites should allow password reset. However, both Firefox and
Chrome as of January 2017 warn users before entering passwords for http sites.
Epiphany 3.24 will add that warning in its March 2017 release.
