Mozilla: Bypass of XrayWrappers using XBL Scopes (MFSA 2013-70)
Published Aug 7, 2013
4.3
MEDIUMCVSS 2.0
EPSS 2.16%
Description
The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.20 does not properly address the possibility of an XBL scope bypass resulting from non-native arguments in XBL function calls, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging access to an unprivileged object.
