The vulnerability is caused due to the application using invalidated input in a call to "eval()". This can be exploited to execute arbitrary Javascript code in "chrome:" context. Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into using certain Toolbar buttons when visiting a specially crafted web page. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.5.9. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Fixed in version 0.5.9.2 (experimental) by restricting the attack vector to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/".
