Descriptions

If a page is loaded from an original site through a hyperlink and contains a redirect to a "data:text/html" URL, triggering a reload will run the reloaded "data:text/html" page with its origin set incorrectly. This allows for a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.

Si se carga una página desde un sitio original mediante un hipervínculo y contiene una redirección a una URL "data:text/html", desencadenar una recarga ejecutará la página "data:text/html" recargada con su origen establecido incorrectamente. Esto permite un ataque de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). La vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird en versiones anteriores a la 52.1, Firefox ESR en versiones anteriores a la 52.1 y Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 53.
