Description Doran Moppert 2019-05-22 01:43:01 UTC
If a crafted hyperlink is dragged and dropped to the bookmark bar or sidebar and the resulting bookmark is subsequently dragged and dropped into the web content area, an arbitrary query of a user's browser history can be run and transmitted to the content page via `drop` event data. This allows for the theft of browser history by a malicious site.

In general, this flaw cannot be exploited through email in Thunderbird because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but it is potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts.
