CVE-2011-3001

Mozilla Firefox 4.x-6 - Unauthenticated Add-on Installation via Enter Key Bypass

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 6, Thunderbird before 7.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.4 do not prevent manual add-on installation in response to the holding of the Enter key, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted web site that triggers an unspecified internal error.
