CVE-2016-9902

HIGH

Redhat Enterprise Linux Desktop < 45.6.0 - Origin Validation Error

Title source: rule
STIX 2.1

Description

The Pocket toolbar button, once activated, listens for events fired from it's own pages but does not verify the origin of incoming events. This allows content from other origins to fire events and inject content and commands into the Pocket context. Note: this issue does not affect users with e10s enabled. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.6 and Firefox < 50.1.
