Mozilla · Firefox · CVE-2019-11718
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firefox versions prior to 68
**Description**
The issue is related to the implementation of the Activity Stream page in Firefox, where content is written without proper sanitization, potentially allowing a remote attacker to access confidential data. Specifically, the Activity Stream can display content from the Snippet Service website, which, if compromised, could lead to unauthorized access to other information available to the Activity Stream, such as browsing history.
**Recommendations**
For Firefox versions prior to 68, update to version 68 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Snippet Service or disabling the Activity Stream feature until a patch is applied. Avoid using the Activity Stream page with potentially compromised Snippet Service content to minimize the risk of exploitation.
