User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Browsing through a website
Found an url of mozilla "https://services.addons.mozilla.org"
found the session token is included in the url


Actual results:

url
"/en-US/firefox/api/1.5/search/guid:jid0-hjBdm7jJii7llLkqacvGnd3gHge@jetpack,fortiext@fortinet.com,clearcache@michel.de.almeida,{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd},firefox-compact-light@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org,firefox-compact-dark@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org
"


Expected results:

Placing session tokens into the URL increases the risk that they will be captured by an attacker
Seems unlikely that browsing through a random website would trigger a search on our addons site. Do you have any more specific steps?

In any case, there are no access tokens in that URL. That's a list of add-on IDs.
