It was discovered that unity-firefox-extension bypassed the same origin policy checks in certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious page, an attacker could exploit this to steal confidential data or perform other security-sensitive operations.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
