Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly interact with a DOM object that has a named getter, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via unspecified vectors.
