The host is installed with Mozilla Firefox before 40.0.3 or Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.2.1 and is prone to a security bypass vulnerability. A flaw is present in the applications, which fail to handle a crafted data: URL. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to bypass an intended user-confirmation requirement by constructing a crafted data: URL and triggering navigation to an arbitrary http: or https: URL at a certain early point in the installation process.
