Descriptions
In Reader View SameSite cookie protections are not checked on exiting. This allows for a payload to be triggered when Reader View is exited if loaded by a malicious site while Reader mode is active, bypassing CSRF protections. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 61.
En Reader View, las protecciones de la cookie SameSite no se comprueban al salir. Esto permite que se desencadene una carga útil cuando se sale de Reader View si se carga desde un sitio malicioso cuando el modo Reader está activo, omitiendo las protecciones CSRF. La vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 61.
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, read uninitialized memory, bypass same-origin restrictions, bypass CORS restrictions, bypass CSRF protections, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
