We have not started working on this idea - nor is it a high priority at the moment. Thus, it would probably be premature to try to do a sec-review for this. Not sure what your usual process is in this case: close, etc - will let you take care of that if that's ok
No worries, we mark stuff as soon as we find it and the bug sits around until you all decide to move forward or move on.

(In reply to Curtis Koenig [:curtisk] from comment #3) > :dveditz - does > https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/document/d/1KhpDteoHFmVRkzlrT8v0N3F- > KrPxLoZFM3mWmEmOses/edit?pli=1 supercede this work /idea? I'm not sure, not automatically. What is being signed here is the update information hosted on a insecure web site. Even if we require the add-ons themselves to be signed it's still a problem if you host the update XML file insecurely -- a tampered one could point at a different add-on altogether. If people persist in self-hosting on non-SSL sites then we still need this mechanism.
