Descriptions

By observing the stack trace for JavaScript errors in web workers, it was possible to leak the result of a cross-origin redirect. This applied only to content that can be parsed as script. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 79, Firefox ESR < 68.11, Firefox ESR < 78.1, Thunderbird < 68.11, and Thunderbird < 78.1.

Al observar el seguimiento de la pila de errores de JavaScript en los trabajadores web, fue posible filtrar el resultado de un redireccionamiento de origen cruzado. Esto se aplica solo al contenido que puede ser analizado como script. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox versiones anteriores a 79, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 68.11, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 78.1, Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 68.11 y Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 78.1

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 iframe sandbox restrictions, confuse the user, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that redirected HTTP requests which are observed or modified through a web extension could bypass existing CORS checks. If a user were tricked in to installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information across origins. Various other issues were also addressed.
