Mozilla: resource: // documents can load privileged pages (MFSA 2015-33)

Published Apr 1, 2015 CVSS 2.0 · 5.0 Medium EPSS 64.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 do not properly restrict resource: URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging the ability to bypass the Same Origin Policy, as demonstrated by the resource: URL associated with PDF.js.
