CWE-284  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade mozilla to version 36.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 does not properly restrict transitions of JavaScript objects from a non-extensible state to an extensible state, which allows remote attackers to bypass a Caja Compiler sandbox protection mechanism or a Secure EcmaScript sandbox protection mechanism via a crafted web site.
