A malicious page could have used the type attribute of an OBJECT tag to override the default browser behavior when encountering a web resource served without a content-type. This could have contributed to an XSS on a site that unsafely serves files without a content-type header. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 144, Firefox ESR < 140.4, Thunderbird < 144, and Thunderbird < 140.4.
