Impact: High

Reporter: shutdown
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey
Fixed in: Firefox 1.5.0.5
Thunderbird 1.5.0.5
SeaMonkey 1.0.3
Description
shutdown reports that cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks could be performed using the construct XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a function that appeared to belong to the window in question even after it had been navigated to the target site.
This vulnerability was introduced during Firefox 1.5 development, it does not affect Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla Suite 1.7
Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and would be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage users from enabling JavaScript in mail.
Workaround
Disable JavaScript until you can upgrade to a fixed version. Do not enable JavaScript in mail clients such as Thunderbird.

Exploit details withheld until after the upgrade period.
