Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. When dragging content from the primary browser pane to the addressbar on a malicious site, it is possible to change the addressbar so that the displayed location following navigation does not match the URL of the newly loaded page. This allows for spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52.
