Descriptions

Application permissions give additional remote troubleshooting permission to the site input.mozilla.org, which has been retired and now redirects to another site. This additional permission is unnecessary and is a potential vector for malicious attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 68.

Los permisos de la aplicación otorgan un permiso de solución de problemas remoto adicional al sitio input.mozilla.org, que ha sido retirado y ahora redirecciona a otro sitio.

If a user were tricked in to installing a malicious language pack, an attacker could exploit this to gain additional privileges. 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, obtain sensitive information, bypass same origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, conduct cross-site request forgery attacks, spoof origin attributes, spoof the addressbar contents, bypass safebrowsing protections, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Firefox treats all files in a directory as same origin.
