Mozilla Firefox Address Bar Image Dragging Remote Script Execution Vulnerability

A remote script execution vulnerability affects Mozilla Firefox. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the origin of scripts prior to execution when loaded into a browser window by dragging JavaScript image URIs into the address bar.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the context of a target Web site in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate cookie-based authentication credential theft as well as other attacks.
