CVE-2019-11744 is fixed in 11 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 69.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released September 3, 2019. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Some HTML elements, such as <title> and <textarea>, can contain literal angle brackets without treating them as markup. It is possible to pass a literal closing tag to .innerHTML on these elements, and subsequent content after that will be parsed as if it were outside the tag. This can lead to XSS if a site does not filter user input as strictly for these elements as it does for other elements. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
