As a hardening measure, we now block inline event handlers in the main #firefox window. Inline event handlers have previously been used to gain code execution in the parent process, for example in the #Pwn2Own contest.
I have spent the last few months removing hundreds of inline event handlers.

We have published the 2nd writeup about the EV vulnerabilities we exploited for #Pwn2Own Automotive: the JuiceBox 40.
Despite what the @thezdi advisories say, these bugs were NOT fixed by the vendor! SiLabs has declared the product EOL and won't fix it.
