Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2023-02-16 09:10:04 UTC 
After downloading a Windows `.scf` script from the local filesystem, an attacker could supply a remote path that would lead to unexpected network requests from the operating system. This also had the potential to leak NTLM credentials to the resource.

*This bug only affects Firefox for Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*
