Description
If a template tag was used in a select tag, the parser could be confused and allow JavaScript parsing and execution when it should not be allowed. A site that relied on the browser behaving correctly could suffer a cross-site scripting vulnerability as a result. In general, this flaw cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled when reading mail, but is potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.5, Firefox < 73, and Firefox < ESR68.5.

| Vendor | Product | Affected | Fixed |

| Mozilla | Thunderbird | unspecified – < 68.5 | 68.5 |
| Mozilla | Firefox | unspecified – < 73, unspecified – < ESR68.5 | 73 |
