The nsXMLHttpRequest::NotifyEventListeners method in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to bypass the same-origin policy and execute arbitrary script via multiple listeners, which bypass the inner window check.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Mozilla client-side browser/mail vulnerability. A malicious remote site or content could bypass same-origin protections and run script where it should not, risking data exposure inside affected Mozilla applications. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems running Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, or SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13. Prioritize if legacy Mozilla clients are still present. The business risk is mainly old endpoint exposure, not modern patched browsers. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mozilla products to the fixed versions or later.; Apply operating-system vendor packages from Debian, Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, or other relevant advisories.; Remove unsupported legacy Mozilla clients from managed endpoints..
