Descriptions
Under certain circumstances, asynchronous functions could have caused a navigation to fail but expose the target URL. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.4.0, Firefox ESR < 91.4.0, and Firefox < 95.
En determinadas circunstancias, las funciones asíncronas podrían haber causado el fallo de una navegación pero exponiendo la URL de destino. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a Thunderbird versiones anteriores a 91.4.0, Firefox ESR versiones anteriores a 91.4.0 y Firefox versiones anteriores a 95
The Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory describes this flaw as: Under certain circumstances, asynchronous functions could have caused a navigation to fail but expose the target URL.
Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, conduct spoofing attacks, bypass CSP restrictions, or execute arbitrary code. A security issue was discovered with the handling of WebExtension permissions. If a user were tricked into installing a specially crafted extension, an attacker could potentially exploit this to create and install a service worker that wouldn't be uninstalled with the extension. Various other issues were also addressed.
