AI-suggested

This vulnerability has been fixed in Firefox 140 and Firefox ESR 128.12. Users and administrators should update to these versions or later to remediate this issue. Since this is a client-side browser vulnerability, applying the official Mozilla updates fully mitigates the risk.

Description

Firefox could have incorrectly parsed a URL and rewritten it to the youtube.com domain when parsing the URL specified in an `embed` tag. This could have bypassed website security checks that restricted which domains users were allowed to embed. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 140, Firefox ESR 128.12, Thunderbird 140, and Thunderbird 128.12.
