Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 47.0

Description The issue exists due to the browser's failure to properly enforce web page structure protection, allowing a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks using a specially crafted applet. This can be achieved by ignoring Content Security Policy (CSP) directives for cross-domain Java applets.

Recommendations For versions prior to 47.0, update to version 47.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of Java applets in Mozilla Firefox until a patch is applied. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
