Steps to reproduce:

This bug was reported for Chromium (issue 1259077) and is reproducible in Firefox 101.0.1.

By abusing the securitypolicyviolation event, an attacker is able to leverage form-action to check whether a victim is logged in to certain websites (the example in the Chromium issue covers Twitter).
