Description Doran Moppert 2019-09-04 00:41:18 UTC 
Some HTML elements, such as `<title>` and `<textarea>`, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to `.innerHTML` on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements.

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