Description Josh Bressers 2009-04-17 15:34:22 UTC 
Mozilla community member Michael reported that when a server responds with
a Refresh header containing a javascript: URI, Firefox will redirect to the
javascript: URI. If an attacker could inject a Refresh header into a server
response, or could control the value that a site places in the Refresh
header, they could use this vulnerability to perform an XSS attack and
execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of that site.
