Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Thunderbird before 17.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 assign the system principal, rather than the sandbox principal, to XMLHttpRequest objects created in sandboxes, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks or obtain sensitive information by leveraging a sandboxed add-on.

Mozilla Firefox antes de v17.0 Thunderbird antes de v17.0 y SeaMonkey antes v2.14, asigna el principal sistema, en lugar del entorno de seguridad, a los objetos XMLHttpRequest creados en entornos controlados, lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar falsificación de peticiones en sitios cruzados (CSRF) u obtener información sensible mediante el aprovechamiento del complemento de entorno controlado.
