The XrayWrapper implementation 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 does not properly restrict use of DefaultValue for method calls, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via a crafted web site that triggers use of a user-defined (1) toString or (2) valueOf method.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1697 is an old Mozilla browser and mail-client flaw. A malicious website could cause vulnerable Firefox or Thunderbird versions to run JavaScript with elevated chrome privileges, crossing a major trust boundary inside the application. Exposure is mainly legacy endpoints running Firefox before 22.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.7, Thunderbird before 17.0.7, or Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.7. Current supported installations should be outside the described affected range. Prioritize remediation where legacy Mozilla clients remain. Modern supported installations are unlikely to be affected. For vulnerable endpoints, treat this as urgent because browser or mail-client compromise can expose user data and authenticated internal sessions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox and Thunderbird beyond the fixed versions named by Mozilla.; Apply distribution vendor updates from Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, or Debian where applicable.; Retire unsupported legacy Mozilla builds from managed endpoints..
