Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass intended source-component restrictions and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a privileged context via a crafted web page for which Notification.permission is granted. This is achieved by manipulating the web notification API component. The vulnerability is related to the function nsJSThunk::EvaluateScript.
