Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Header Injection. Remote Agent, used in WebDriver, did not validate the Host or Origin headers. This could have allowed websites to connect back locally to the user's browser to control it.

Note This bug only affected Firefox when WebDriver was enabled, which is not the default configuration.
