Technical details

A vulnerability exists in Firefox for iOS Reader View where page content was replaced in the HTML template before other internal placeholders were processed. This logic error allows a malicious page to include a specific placeholder string that is subsequently substituted with JSON-LD data during the rendering process. By manipulating this substitution order, an attacker can inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of the Reader View. This issue is fixed in Firefox for iOS version 151.2.
