Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can conduct cross-domain scripting attacks.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by a target user, invokes a chrome XBL method in conjunction with the window.eval method to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will run in the security context of an arbitrary 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.
Firefox version 2.x is not affected.
