CVE ID: | CVE-2022-3033 |
Description: | If a Thunderbird user replied to a crafted HTML email containing a
meta tag, with the meta tag having the
http-equiv="refresh" attribute, and the content attribute
specifying an URL, then Thunderbird started a network request to that
URL, regardless of the configuration to block remote content. In
combination with certain other HTML elements and attributes in the
email, it was possible to execute JavaScript code included in the
message in the context of the message compose document. The JavaScript
code was able to perform actions including, but probably not limited
to, read and modify the contents of the message compose document,
including the quoted original message, which could potentially contain
the decrypted plaintext of encrypted data in the crafted email. The
contents could then be transmitted to the network, either to the URL
specified in the META refresh tag, or to a different URL, as the
JavaScript code could modify the URL specified in the document. This
bug doesn't affect users who have changed the default Message Body
display setting to 'simple html' or 'plain text'. This vulnerability
affects Thunderbird < 102.2.1 and Thunderbird < 91.13.1.
