Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 37.0

Description The issue arises from Mozilla Firefox relying on docshell type information instead of page principal information for Window.webidl access control. This might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via certain content navigation. The exploitation leverages the reachability of a privileged window with an unintended persistence of access to restricted internal methods.

Recommendations For versions prior to 37.0, update to version 37.0 or later to resolve the issue.
