Official Description
Mozilla 1.1 and earlier, and Mozilla-based browsers such as Netscape and Galeon, set the document referrer too quickly in certain situations when a new page is being loaded, which allows web pages to determine the next page that is being visited, including manually entered URLs, using the onunload handler.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-1126 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
