Severity: medium (CVSS 4.3 v2.0)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 2.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2013-08-07 · updated 2026-06-16
Weakness: CWE-79

Description

The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.20 does not properly address the possibility of an XBL scope bypass resulting from non-native arguments in XBL function calls, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by leveraging access to an unprivileged object.

Affected products

Mozilla Firefox: through 22.0; 19.0, 19.0.1, 19.0.2, 20.0, 20.0.1, 21.0
Mozilla Seamonkey: through 2.20; 2.0, 2.0-alpha_1, 2.0-alpha_2, 2.0-alpha_3, 2.0-beta_1, 2.0-beta_2 (+140)
