Mozilla developer Kris Maglione reported a mechanism where

API calls. Depending on the privileges of the extension used, this could result in
personal information theft and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, including theft of browser cookies. This is mitigated by the requirement to have a WebExtension installed that is vulnerable to this issue.");
