CVE-2019-11744
Some HTML elements, such as <title> and <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup.
Impact
Some HTML elements, such as <title> and <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
Affected products
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions |
|---|---|---|
| Mozilla | Firefox | before 60.9 before 69.0 from 68.0 before 68.1 |
| Mozilla | Thunderbird | before 60.9 from 68.0 before 68.1 |
