Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2016-12-13 16:26:08 UTC

HTML tags received from the Pocket server will be processed without sanitization and any JavaScript code executed will be run in the <code>about:pocket-saved</code> (unprivileged) page, giving it access to Pocket's messaging API through HTML injection.
