A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Mozilla Thunderbird up to 1.4 (Mail Client Software). Affected by this issue is an unknown part. The manipulation of the argument HREF with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The nsIScriptableUnescapeHTML.parseFragment method in the ParanoidFragmentSink protection mechanism in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.17 and 3.6.x before 3.6.14, Thunderbird before 3.1.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.12 does not properly sanitize HTML in a chrome document, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via a javascript: URI in input to an extension, as demonstrated by a javascript:alert sequence in (1) the HREF attribute of an A element or (2) the ACTION attribute of a FORM element.

The weakness was presented 04/28/2010 by Jesse Ruderman as Bug 562547 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is available at bugzilla.mozilla.org.
