Discussion

Mozilla Firefox CVE-2011-2369 HTML Injection Vulnerability

Mozilla Firefox is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 48354 (Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey MFSA 2011-19 through -28 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
