NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird package and not the thunderbird package as distributed by Ubuntu.

If a user installed an extension of a particular type, the extension could have auto-updated itself and while doing so, bypass the prompt which grants the new version the new requested permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 97, Thunderbird < 91.6, and Firefox ESR < 91.6.
