The Add-on SDK in Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 misinterprets a "script: false" panel setting, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via inline JavaScript code that is executed within a third-party extension.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Firefox Add-on SDK flaw. In Firefox before 42.0, a setting intended to disable scripts in extension panels could be misread, allowing inline JavaScript to run inside a third-party extension context. Risk is mainly for environments still using legacy Firefox or legacy extensions. Exposure is likely limited to systems running Mozilla Firefox before 42.0, especially where Add-on SDK-based third-party extensions were installed. Modern supported Firefox deployments are unlikely to be affected based on the provided version boundary. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency, unless old Firefox builds remain in production. Prioritize browser modernization and extension inventory for high-risk user groups. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 42.0 or later where legacy versions remain deployed.; Apply relevant OS vendor browser updates from Gentoo, Ubuntu, openSUSE, or Oracle guidance.; Inventory and remove unnecessary legacy third-party Firefox extensions..
