MEDIUM

The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.26 allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted web site that is visited in the debugger, leading to unwrapping operations and calls to DOM methods on the unwrapped objects.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
