CVE-2010-3312 describes a vulnerability in Epiphany 2.28 and 2.29, specifically when using WebKit and LibSoup, where the browser misleadingly displays a closed-lock icon for any URL starting with "https:". This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof legitimate HTTPS websites using crafted X.509 certificates, deceiving users into believing the connection is secure. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.8, indicating a medium severity with network access, medium attack complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality and integrity impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this decade-old flaw.
