NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox-x11 package and not the firefox-x11 package as distributed by RHEL.
Permission prompts for opening external schemes were only shown for <code>ContentPrincipals</code> resulting in extensions being able to open them without user interaction via <code>ExpandedPrincipals</code>.

This vulnerability affects Firefox < 110, Thunderbird < 102.8, and Firefox ESR < 102.8.
