**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Mozilla Firefox version 1.8 **Description** The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by querying the browser's session history. This is due to the CheckLoadURI function listing the about: URI as a ChromeProtocol, which can be loaded via JavaScript. **Recommendations** For Mozilla Firefox version 1.8, consider disabling the CheckLoadURI function or restricting JavaScript access to the about: URI as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox version 1.0.3 Description: The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript in other domains. This is achieved by using an IFRAME and causing the browser to navigate to a previous javascript: URL, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. Recommendations: For Firefox version 1.0.3, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk.

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox version 1.0.3 Description: The issue allows remote web sites on the browser's whitelist to execute arbitrary Javascript with chrome privileges. This can lead to arbitrary code execution on the system when combined with other vulnerabilities. The exploitation can be demonstrated using a javascript: URL as the package icon and a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on a vulnerable whitelist site. Recommendations: For Firefox version 1.0.3, consider restricting access to the `install` function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `javascript:` URL scheme for package icons to minimize the risk of exploitation.
