Description

Firefox for iOS Reader View did not properly escape HTML tags in JSON-LD metadata. A malicious page could inject markup that changed Reader View behavior and leaked sensitive URL parameters. These parameters could then be used to access internal pages, potentially resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution in an internal origin. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox for iOS 151.2.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:R)
A real person has to do something—click, install, enable—otherwise it doesn’t land.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
