[🐛 Bug]: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

[Yurnerosk]

What happened?

Hello,

I've been trying to automate a login process to a website to order some items.

However, according to Firefox the site is suspicious, and instead of logging in, will show "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead", and mess with the process.

"Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust WEBSITE because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates." Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

The website is actually safe.

From my perspective, it seems that the option 'accept_untrusted_certs' = True was the salvation for the whole internet, but since there were a syntax change, everything seems not to work now.

I've tried:

• DesiredCapabilities: from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

• Options.capabilities()

• StackOverflow I wish this could have solved

• acceptInsecureCerts Does not have an example on the link

How can we reproduce the issue?

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
# from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
# from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
# from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
def main():
    print('ok')
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(   
    )
    sites = [
        r'https://www.coke.net/FEMSA/ccrz__CCPage?pageKey=LandingPage',

    ]
    driver.get(sites[0])    
    driver.implicitly_wait(10)
    assert 'Coke.Net' in driver.title
    print(driver.title)
    login = driver.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME,"cc-subheader-secondary")[4]
    login.click()

    email = driver.find_element(By.ID,"emailField")
    email.send_keys("lol@123.com")

    senha = driver.find_element(By.ID,"passwordField")
    senha.send_keys("levia")

    actions = ActionChains(driver)
    actions.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
    actions.perform()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Relevant log output

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

Forgot to mention that I've been thinking about the creating a FF profile for automation option. But I really didn't want to do that.

You need to use acceptInsecureCerts, and set it to true.

[titusfortner]

We set it to true by default for Firefox, so if it is failing then that isn't working or something else is going on. It is worth someone trying to duplicate it in Python.

[Yurnerosk]

You need to use acceptInsecureCerts, and set it to true.

I have tried this several times, however it is not clear of how to set this option to True... @diemol could you give me a clue?

[titusfortner]

I could not reproduce your issue with the code provided. It worked just fine for me for Firefox 121 / Selenium 4.16

Does it work for you in Chrome when you use options.accept_insecure_certs = True?

closing as did not hear back. We can re-open if this is still an issue.
