Description Prasad Pandit 2015-09-23 17:52:28 UTC 
Security researcher Mario Gomes reported that when a previously loaded image
on a page is drag and dropped into content after a redirect, the redirected
URL is available to scripts. This is a violation of the Fetch specification's
defined behavior for "Atomic HTTP redirect handling" which states that
redirected URLs are not exposed to any APIs. This can allow for information
leakage.
