CVE-2004-2657 describes a privacy concern in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1, and potentially other versions, where user activity records, specifically "Passwords Never Saved" website lists, persist even after uninstallation. This allows local users sharing a Windows profile to access these records upon a new Firefox installation. The vulnerability has a low severity CVSS score of 1.7, indicating a local attack vector with low complexity and a potential impact of partial confidentiality. Despite the vendor disputing it as intended behavior, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion beyond a single GitHub mention.
