MetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 60
Description The issue is related to the web console and JavaScript debugger not properly sanitizing output, which can lead to displaying internal chrome pages as active hyperlinks. This could allow malicious sites to trick users into clicking on "javascript:" links, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected information.
Recommendations For versions prior to 60, update to version 60 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the web console and JavaScript debugger to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid clicking on suspicious links, especially those starting with "chrome:" or "javascript:".
