The System Only Wrapper (SOW) and Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) implementations in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.7, Thunderbird before 17.0.7, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.7 do not properly restrict XBL user-defined functions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges, or conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affected older Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird releases. A malicious website could bypass wrapper restrictions and run JavaScript with elevated browser privileges, creating a serious risk to users who browsed attacker-controlled content with vulnerable versions. Exposure is most likely in legacy endpoints, old ESR images, or unmaintained Linux distribution packages still running the affected Mozilla versions. Modern supported Firefox and Thunderbird versions should not be exposed to this specific issue. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup priority. It is old, but the impact is serious if vulnerable browsers or mail clients remain in production or embedded environments. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 22.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Firefox ESR to 17.0.7 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Thunderbird and Thunderbird ESR to 17.0.7 or later..
