Description Doran Moppert 2019-10-23 05:40:23 UTC
By using a form with a data URI it was possible to gain access to the privileged `JSONView` object that had been cloned into content. Impact from exposing this object appears to be minimal, however it was a bypass of existing defense in depth mechanisms.
