Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 does not always use XPCCrossOriginWrapper when required during object construction, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted document, related to a "cross origin wrapper bypass."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Firefox browser flaw where a malicious webpage could bypass Same Origin Policy protections and run cross-site scripting content. Business risk is mainly in legacy desktops, kiosks, or embedded systems still using Firefox before 3.0.12. Exposure is most likely limited to unmanaged or legacy environments running Firefox before 3.0.12, including old Linux distributions, kiosks, VDI images, or embedded browser stacks. Prioritize remediation if legacy browsers still exist. Modern fleets are unlikely to be exposed, but any internet-facing use of Firefox before 3.0.12 creates avoidable browser compromise and data-access risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 3.0.12 or later where legacy versions remain installed.; Apply relevant vendor browser packages from Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, or Sun advisories.; Remove unsupported Firefox versions from managed endpoints and golden images..
