[tor-talk] Security issue. Firefox in Tor Browser Bundle allows access to LAN resources. To fix: ABE of NoScript must be turn on by default




Hi Yuri
I don't think browsers in general allow connections on loopback
interfaces, unless explicitly requested by users. If any of the browsers
do, this is a security violation irrelevant to tor.
If you are confident this is an issue with firefox, you should create a
PR for firefox project (in Mozilla bugzilla).

Maybe you'll be suprised but Firefox by default allow connections to loopback interfaces if there is no disabled rule in firewall settings. NoScript Add-On can solve the problem by ABE.

I have Tor Browser Bundle 3.5 and Firefox 24.2.0 from there. Just open some port on your computer(only for testing) for example local web-server and try with Firefox from Tor Browser Bundle this page: http://tortestprivacy.url.ph/ You will see :) (ABE must be turned off, as by default)

TT Security.
