Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2013-06-24 22:08:23 EDT

Mozilla community member Bob Owen reported that <iframe sandbox> restrictions are not applied to a frame element contained within a sandboxed iframe. As a result, content hosted within a sandboxed iframe could use a frame element to bypass the restrictions that should be applied.
