Description Josh Bressers 2009-10-21 18:16:05 UTC

Mozilla security researcher Georgi Guninski reported that scriptable plugin
content, such as Flash objects, could be loaded and executed in SeaMonkey
mail messages by embedding the content in an iframe inside the message. If
a user were to reply to or forward such a message, malicious JavaScript
embedded in the plugin content could potentially steal the contents of the
message or files from the local filesystem.
