Mozilla · Firefox Esr · CVE-2022-45411
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firefox ESR versions prior to 102.5
Thunderbird versions prior to 102.5
Firefox versions prior to 107
**Description**
Cross-Site Tracing occurs when a server echoes a request back via the Trace method, allowing an XSS attack to access authorization headers and cookies inaccessible to JavaScript, such as cookies protected by HTTPOnly. Browsers have placed limits on `fetch()` and XMLHttpRequest to mitigate this attack. However, some webservers have implemented non-standard headers like `X-Http-Method-Override` that override the HTTP method, making this attack possible again.
**Recommendations**
For Firefox ESR versions prior to 102.5, update to version 102.5 or later.
For Thunderbird versions prior to 102.5, update to version 102.5 or later.
For Firefox versions prior to 107, update to version 107 or later.
