CVE-2017-7840 - log back

CVE-2017-7840 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity	+ Low
Remote	+ Local
Type	+ Cross-site scripting
Description	+ JavaScript can be injected into an exported bookmarks file by placing JavaScript code into user-supplied tags in saved bookmarks in Firefox before 57.0. If the resulting exported HTML file is later opened in a browser this JavaScript will be executed. This could be used in social engineering and self-cross-site-scripting (self-XSS) attacks if users were convinced to add malicious tags to bookmarks, export them, and then open the resulting file.
