CVE-2014-1510 is a privilege-escalation vulnerability in the Web IDL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.4, Thunderbird before 24.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.25. According to the provided description, a remote attacker can use an IDL fragment to trigger a window.open call and cause arbitrary JavaScript to execute with chrome privileges. In Mozilla terminology, chrome privileges correspond to highly privileged browser-internal execution context, making this effectively a sandbox/privilege boundary bypass from web content into privileged browser code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'firefox_webidl_injection.rb', which exploits two privilege escalation vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-1510 and CVE-2014-1511) in Mozilla Firefox versions 22.0 through 27.0. The exploit is delivered via a malicious web page, leveraging JavaScript and browser internals to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine. The module supports both JavaScript-based and native payloads, allowing for flexible post-exploitation. The main attack vector is through the browser, requiring the victim to visit a crafted page. The exploit abuses internal Firefox endpoints such as 'chrome://browser/content/browser.xul' and data URIs to achieve code execution. The code is operational and can be used to deliver customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework.
