Summary

A vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.5 and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote Proxy AutoConfig (PAC) servers to execute code with elevated privileges via a PAC script that sets the FindProxyForURL function to an eval method on a privileged object.

Risk Assessment

An organization using an affected browser version may be exposed to remote code execution with browser privileges, potentially leading to system compromise or data theft.

Recommendation

Update Mozilla Firefox to version 1.5.0.5 or later and SeaMonkey to version 1.0.3 or later. If updating is not possible, consider restricting trust to PAC servers or disabling automatic proxy configuration.
