Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

A data: URL loaded in a new tab did not inherit the Content Security Policy (CSP) of the original page, allowing for bypasses of the policy including the execution of JavaScript. In prior versions when data: documents also inherited the context of the original page this would allow for potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.


Remediation

Update to version Firefox 57.
