Description |
Multiple Mozilla products contain a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate input passed via the displayed url when an attacker exploits a flaw in docshell's page loading which allows for the manipulation of the displayed URL, which may allow for manipulation of the displayed URL. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. |
