CVE-2015-7193

Firefox < 41.0.2 - Same Origin Policy Bypass via CORS POST Request

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4 improperly follow the CORS cross-origin request algorithm for the POST method in situations involving an unspecified Content-Type header manipulation, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by leveraging the lack of a preflight-request step.
