CVE-2015-7193
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 42.0
Firefox ESR versions prior to 38.4
Description
The issue is related to the improper handling of the CORS cross-origin request algorithm for the POST method when an unspecified Content-Type header manipulation occurs. This allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by leveraging the lack of a preflight-request step. The vulnerability is associated with the incorrect usage of shared resources between different origins, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to bypass existing access restrictions due to the absence of a request checking stage.
Recommendations
For Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 42.0, update to version 42.0 or later.
For Firefox ESR versions prior to 38.4, update to version 38.4 or later.
