When importing resources using Web Workers, error messages would distinguish the difference between <code>application/javascript</code> responses and non-script responses. This could have been abused to learn information cross-origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6.
