FKIE_CVE-2015-0816

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-04-01 10:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:20
Severity
Summary
Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 do not properly restrict resource: URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging the ability to bypass the Same Origin Policy, as demonstrated by the resource: URL associated with PDF.js.
