Malicious scripts could use these privileges to compromise\nyour computer or data.In Mozilla clients the primary use for EvalInSandbox is to run the\nProxy Autoconfig script should one be specified by your network\nadministrator. This is a rare option for home users, it is primarily\nused by institutional networks which have a need for remote configuration.The popular Greasemonkey extension uses EvalInSandbox to run userscripts\nwhich manipulate the web pages you visit on your behalf. Using this\nvulnerability a malicious userscript could gain enough privilege to\ninstall malware, but even when Greasemonkey is working as designed\na malicious userscript can make life miserable. Only install userscripts\nfrom sources you can trust.", "aliases": [ { "alias": "CVE-2006-2787" } ], "fixed_packages": [ { "url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/1100?format=api", "purl": "pkg:mozilla/SeaMonkey@1.0.2", "is_vulnerable": false, "affected_by_vulnerabilities": [], "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:mozilla/SeaMonkey@1.0.2" } ], "affected_packages": [], "references": [ { "reference_url": "https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2787", "reference_id": "CVE-2006-2787", "reference_type": "", "scores": [], "url": "https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2787" }, { "reference_url": "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2006-31", "reference_id": "mfsa2006-31", "reference_type": "", "scores": [ { "value": "none", "scoring_system": "generic_textual", "scoring_elements": "" } ], "url": "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2006-31" } ], "weaknesses": [], "exploits": [], "severity_range_score": null, "exploitability": null, "weighted_severity": null, "risk_score": null, "resource_url": "http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-75qe-svtv-kfed" }
