Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 59
Description
The issue is related to a shared worker created from a "data:" URL in one tab being shared by another tab with a different origin, which bypasses the same-origin policy. This allows a remote attacker to potentially gain unauthorized access to protected information due to an insufficient input validation mechanism.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 59, update to version 59 or later to resolve the issue.
