Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML using the addEventListener() or setTimeout() functions that, when loaded by a target user, will inject arbitrary scripting code into an arbitrary site's content. The code will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
The vendor credits moz_bug_r_a4 with reporting this vulnerability.
