Summary

CVE-2000-0034 is a vulnerability affecting Netscape 4.7 where user passwords are stored in the preferences.js file, despite the "remember passwords" feature being disabled during IMAP or POP sessions. This means that passwords can be accessible even if users believe they are not being saved. This poses a significant security risk as unauthorized users may gain access to sensitive information through these saved passwords. Users of Netscape 4.7 are advised to be cautious and consider upgrading to a more secure version or using a different email client to prevent potential password theft.
