CVE-2010-1585

http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2010-1585

Original

The nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment method in Mozilla Firefox does not properly sanitize HTML, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via a javascript: URI in input to an extension, as demonstrated by a javascript:alert sequence in (1) the HREF attribute of an A element or (2) the ACTION attribute of a FORM element.
