AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, organizations should implement network-level controls to block or inspect suspicious multipart HTTP responses, especially from untrusted or external sources. Security teams should educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted links or sites that could deliver malicious multipart responses. Deploying endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous browser behaviors related to script execution under privileged origins can provide additional defense. On Android devices, enforcing strict app update policies and restricting installation of untrusted applications can reduce exposure. Monitoring browser telemetry and logs for unusual resource://devtools activity may help detect exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should review and enhance their web content security policies and consider disabling or restricting features that allow resource://devtools origin script execution if feasible.

Description

An attacker could, via a specially crafted multipart response, execute arbitrary JavaScript under the `resource://devtools` origin. This could allow them to access cross-origin JSON content. This access is limited to "same site" documents by the Site Isolation feature on desktop clients, but full cross-origin access is possible on Android versions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 131, Firefox ESR < 128.3, Firefox ESR < 115.16, Thunderbird < 128.3, and Thunderbird < 131.
