1319803 - Add-on in Mozilla library that is not verified

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Liejan van Horen-Meeusen]

Attachment: Error message Thunderbrid.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0
Build ID: 20161114144739

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to install importexporttools-3.2.4.1-sm+tb with the option Install add-on by file.


Actual results:

Error message 'Author not verified', but the add-on is in Mozilla's library https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/thunderbird/extensions/miscellaneous/. I did send the author a message to ask him to have the add-on verified.


Expected results:

Installing importexporttools-3.2.4.1-sm+tb.

I don't see this as exploitable, do you?

No there's nothing strange about that.

And, verification is not signing. Verification gives you very little...
