Mozilla Thunderbird CVE-2013-1713 Weak Authentication Vulnerability
Description
Security researcher Cody Crews reported that some Javascript components will perform checks against the wrong uniform resource identifier (URI) before performing security sensitive actions. This will return an incorrect location for the originator of the call. This could be used to bypass same-origin policy, allowing for cross-site scripting (XSS) or the installation of malicious add-ons from third-party pages.
