The session restore feature in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4 and 2.x before 2.0.0.18 allows remote attackers to violate the same origin policy to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via unknown vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Firefox browser flaw where session restore could break same-origin protections. A malicious web page could potentially run script with elevated browser privileges. Business risk is mainly for legacy systems that still use Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4 or 2.x before 2.0.0.18. Exposure should be rare in modern managed environments, but possible on unsupported workstations, kiosks, lab systems, embedded desktops, or old Linux distributions still carrying vulnerable Firefox builds. Prioritize remediation where legacy Firefox is still used for browsing untrusted sites. For modern fleets, treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless asset inventory shows affected installations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 3.0.4, 2.0.0.18, or a later supported release.; Remove vulnerable legacy Firefox versions from managed endpoints.; Apply relevant operating system vendor browser updates for packaged Firefox builds..
