The Pocket toolbar button, once activated, listens for events fired from its own pages but does not verify the origin of incoming events. This allows content from other origins to fire events and inject content and commands into the Pocket context. Note: this issue does not affect users with e10s enabled. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.6 and Firefox < 50.1.
Weakness
The product does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid.
