Description Josh Bressers 2010-03-30 08:21:59 EDT

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the
XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on was exposing an underlying
chrome privilege escalation vulnerability. When the XMLHttpRequestSpy
object was created, it would attach various properties of itself to objects
defined in web content which were not being properly wrapped to prevent
their exposure to chrome privileged objects. This could result in an
attacker running arbitrary JavaScript on a victim's machine, though it
required the victim to have Firebug installed.
