Summary
Under specific circumstances a WebExtension may have received a jar:file:/// URI instead of a moz-extension:/// URI during a load request. This leaked directory paths on the user's machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox for Android < 112, Firefox < 112, and Focus for Android < 112.
Risk Assessment
Leaking directory paths could help an attacker map the user's filesystem, potentially facilitating further attacks.
Recommendation
Update Firefox and Focus browsers to version 112 or later to prevent path leakage.
