Security researcher Shinto K Anto reported an issue with cross-origin
resource sharing (CORS) "preflight" requests when receiving certain
Content-Type headers. This is due to an error in implementation resulting in
trying to process multiple media types when they are returned in the
Content-Type headers from a server. This is disallowed in the CORS specification and results in a simple instead of a
"preflight" request, leading to potential same-origin policy violation.
In general this flaw cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled, but is potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts.
