User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180605171542

Steps to reproduce:

This potential code issue was identified in a code review of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1475647

The function currently checks against STATE_IS_BROKEN and returns insecure result.  It may also need to check against STATE_IS_INSECURE.  Otherwise a null exception may occur below trying to access attributes of secInfo.
I'm assigning a component, based on the bug mentioned in the description.

Is this something we should consider backporting to 64 or can it ride the trains?
