{"id":"CVE-2019-11744","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2019-11744","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T23:58:29.014Z","title":"This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements.","description":"Some HTML elements, such as &lt;title&gt; and &lt;textarea&gt;, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.","published":"2019-09-27T18:15:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:13:33.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@mozilla.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["mozilla/firefox","mozilla/thunderbird"],"epss":{"score":0.0145,"percentile":0.73236,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.45%).
