Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an
attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
bypass permission prompts, obtain sensitive information, bypass security
restrictions, cause user confusion, or execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-29909, CVE-2022-29911, CVE-2022-29912, CVE-2022-29913,
CVE-2022-29914, CVE-2022-29916, CVE-2022-29917)

could potentially exploit this by tricking the user into trusting the
authenticity of a message. (CVE-2022-1520)
It was discovered that the methods of an Array object could be corrupted
