Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The XPCVariant::VariantDataToJS function in the XPCOM implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 does not enforce intended restrictions on interaction between chrome privileged code and objects obtained from remote web sites, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via unspecified method calls, related to "doubly-wrapped objects."
