Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 56
Description The issue is related to the "instanceof" operator, which can bypass the Xray wrapper mechanism. This allows web content to provide its own result for the operator, potentially tricking the browser or extension into mishandling the element. The vulnerability may be exploited by a remote attacker to impact data integrity.
Recommendations For versions prior to 56, update to a version 56 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the "instanceof" operator in web content to minimize the risk of exploitation.
