NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Under specific circumstances a WebExtension may have received a <code>jar:file:///</code> URI instead of a <code>moz-extension:///</code> URI during a load request. This leaked directory paths on the user's machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.
