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

Description The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and modify the location.host property via an invalid data: URL. This is related to insufficient access control in the browser, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to circumvent existing access restrictions.

Recommendations For versions prior to 47.0, update to version 47.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to invalid data: URLs to minimize the risk of exploitation.
