Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.19 and 3.6.x before 3.6.17, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.14, does not properly implement autocompletion for forms, which allows remote attackers to read form history entries via a Java applet that spoofs interaction with the autocomplete controls.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
