CVE-2005-2263: The InstallTrigger.install method in Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows remote attackers...

The InstallTrigger.install method in Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows remote attackers to execute a callback function in the context of another domain by forcing a page navigation after the install method has been called, which causes the callback to be run in the context of the new page and results in a same origin violation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old browser flaw in Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9. A malicious web page could cause an install callback to run under another site's origin after navigation, breaking same-origin boundaries. Modern supported browsers are unlikely to be affected, but legacy systems using these versions should be remediated. Exposure is mainly legacy desktop or server environments that still include obsolete Firefox or Mozilla browser packages. Current supported browser installations should not match the named vulnerable versions, but archived images, kiosks, and unmanaged endpoints may still carry risk. This is not a broad modern-browser emergency based on the provided evidence. Prioritize it where legacy browsers, old Linux distributions, kiosks, or archived operational systems remain in service. Otherwise track it as legacy software retirement hygiene. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 1.0.5 or later if legacy Firefox exists.; Upgrade Mozilla to 1.7.9 or later if legacy Mozilla exists.; Prefer replacing obsolete Mozilla-era browsers with supported browsers..
