Original advisory details:

 Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were
 tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security
 restrictions, spoof the URL bar, or execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2020-6831, CVE-2020-12387, CVE-2020-12390, CVE-2020-12391,
 CVE-2020-12394, CVE-2020-12395, CVE-2020-12396)
  It was discovered that the Devtools’ ‘Copy as cURL’ feature did not
 properly HTTP POST data of a request. If a user were tricked in to using
 the ‘Copy as cURL’ feature to copy and paste a command with specially
 crafted data in to a terminal, an attacker could potentially exploit this
 to obtain sensitive information from local files.
 (CVE-2020-12392)
