MetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox versions prior to 58
Description: The issue arises from the development tools panels of an extension not being properly restricted to load URLs as relative URLs from the extension manifest file. This could potentially allow a development tools panel to access privileged pages it should not have access to. The vulnerability may be exploited by a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.
Recommendations: For versions prior to 58, update to version 58 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive information and privileged pages until the update can be applied.
