Description Josh Bressers 2006-04-13 04:03:16 UTC
cross-site scripting through window.controllers


shutdown demonstrated how to use the window.controllers array to bypass
same-origin protections, allowing a malicious site to inject script into
content from another site. This could allow the malicious page to steal
information such as cookies or passwords from the other site, or perform
transactions on the user's behalf if the user were already logged in.

Note: Thunderbird shares the JavaScript engine with Firefox and could be
vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default
setting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in mail.

Workaround

Disable JavaScript until you can upgrade to a version containing the fix.

Lifting embargo

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-18 17:33:04 UTC
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the
updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or
Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please
let us know in this bug report.  If after a month's time we have not heard back
from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Thanks in advance.


Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-28 15:04:02 UTC
We haven't got any reply to the last question about reproducability of the bug
with Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, or Fedora devel. Mass closing this bug, so if you
have new information that would help us fix this bug, please reopen it with the
additional information.
