When a download was initiated, the client did not check whether it was in normal or private browsing mode, which led to private mode cookies being shared in normal browsing mode. This vulnerability affects Firefox for iOS < 34.
After requesting multiple permissions, and closing the first permission panel, subsequent permission panels will be displayed in a different position but still record a click in the default location, making it possible to trick a user into accepting a permission they did not want to. *This bug only affects Firefox on Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91 and Thunderbird < 91.
Firefox used to cache the last filename used for printing a file. When generating a filename for printing, Firefox usually suggests the web page title. The caching and suggestion techniques combined may have lead to the title of a website visited during private browsing mode being stored on disk. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 89.
Mozilla Firefox before 21.0 does not properly implement the INPUT element, which allows remote attackers to obtain the full pathname via a crafted web site.
The TLS implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.
The RC4 algorithm, as used in the TLS protocol and SSL protocol, has many single-byte biases, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of ciphertext in a large number of sessions that use the same plaintext.
The SVG filter implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.7, Thunderbird before 17.0.7, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.7 allows remote attackers to read pixel values, and possibly bypass the Same Origin Policy and read text from a different domain, by observing timing differences in execution of filter code.
Mozilla Firefox before 21.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.6, Thunderbird before 17.0.6, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.6 do not properly initialize data structures for the nsDOMSVGZoomEvent::mPreviousScale and nsDOMSVGZoomEvent::mNewScale functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web site.
The IonMonkey JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21, when Valgrind mode is used, does not properly initialize memory, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
If an attacker is able to alter specific about:config values (for example malware running on the user's computer), the Devtools remote debugging feature could have been enabled in a way that was unnoticable to the user. This would have allowed a remote attacker (able to make a direct network connection to the victim) to monitor the user's browsing activity and (plaintext) network traffic. This was addressed by providing a visual cue when Devtools has an open network socket. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 87.
If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. This could be used to leak sensitive information contained in such URIs. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86, Thunderbird < 78.8, and Firefox ESR < 78.8.
The browser could have been confused into transferring a screen sharing state into another tab, which would leak unintended information. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85.
Mozilla Firefox before 20.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.17, when gfx.color_management.enablev4 is used, do not properly handle color profiles during PNG rendering, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a grayscale PNG image.
Mozilla Firefox before 19.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, Thunderbird before 17.0.3, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.16 do not prevent JavaScript workers from reading the browser-profile directory name, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors.
Further techniques that built on the slipstream research combined with a malicious webpage could have exposed both an internal network's hosts as well as services running on the user's local machine. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85.
A malicious extension with the 'search' permission could have installed a new search engine whose favicon referenced a cross-origin URL. The response to this cross-origin request could have been read by the extension, allowing a same-origin policy bypass by the extension, which should not have cross-origin permissions. This cross-origin request was made without cookies, so the sensitive information disclosed by the violation was limited to local-network resources or resources that perform IP-based authentication. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 87.
As specified in the W3C Content Security Policy draft, when creating a violation report, "User agents need to ensure that the source file is the URL requested by the page, pre-redirects. If that’s not possible, user agents need to strip the URL down to an origin to avoid unintentional leakage." Under certain types of redirects, Firefox incorrectly set the source file to be the destination of the redirects. This was fixed to be the redirect destination's origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86, Thunderbird < 78.8, and Firefox ESR < 78.8.
The XrayWrapper implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Thunderbird before 17.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 does not consider the compartment during property filtering, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended chrome-only restrictions on reading DOM object properties via a crafted web site.
The XBL.__proto__.toString implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 18.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.12 and 17.x before 17.0.2, Thunderbird before 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.12 and 17.x before 17.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.15 makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by calling the toString function of an XBL object.
Gecko-based browsers, including Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8, modify the .href property of stylesheet DOM nodes to the final URI of a 302 redirect, which might allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read sensitive information from the original URL, such as with Single-Signon systems.
Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.3 preserve the network connection used for favicon resource retrieval after the associated browser window is closed, which makes it easier for remote web servers to track users by observing network traffic from multiple IP addresses.
The DOMParser component in Mozilla Firefox before 15.0, Thunderbird before 15.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.12 loads subresources during parsing of text/html data within an extension, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by providing crafted data to privileged extension code.
Mozilla Firefox before 15.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.7, and SeaMonkey before 2.12 do not properly handle onLocationChange events during navigation between different https sites, which allows remote attackers to spoof the X.509 certificate information in the address bar via a crafted web page.
template/en/default/bug/field-events.js.tmpl in Bugzilla 3.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.9, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.4, and 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4rc1 generates JavaScript function calls containing private product names or private component names in certain circumstances involving custom-field visibility control, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading HTML source code.
Mozilla Firefox 16.0, Thunderbird 16.0, and SeaMonkey 2.13 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read the properties of a Location object via a crafted web site, a related issue to CVE-2012-4193.
The Content Security Policy (CSP) functionality in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 13.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.6, Thunderbird 5.0 through 13.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.11 does not properly restrict the strings placed into the blocked-uri parameter of a violation report, which allows remote web servers to capture OpenID credentials and OAuth 2.0 access tokens by triggering a violation.
Bugzilla 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.2 and 4.3.x before 4.3.2 uses bug-editor privileges instead of bugmail-recipient privileges during construction of HTML bugmail documents, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive description information by reading the tooltip portions of an HTML e-mail message.
The get_attachment_link function in Template.pm in Bugzilla 2.x and 3.x before 3.6.10, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.7, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.2, and 4.3.x before 4.3.2 does not check whether an attachment is private before presenting the attachment description within a public comment, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive description information by reading a comment.
Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information by reading a Content Security Policy (CSP) violation report that contains path information associated with an IFRAME element.
Bugzilla 3.5.x and 3.6.x before 3.6.9, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.6, and 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.1, when the inbound_proxies option is enabled, does not properly validate the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header, which allows remote attackers to bypass the lockout policy via a series of authentication requests with (1) different IP address strings in this header or (2) a long string in this header.
A hyperlink using protocols associated with Internet Explorer, such as IE.HTTP:, can be used to open local files at a known location with Internet Explorer if a user approves execution when prompted. *Note: this issue only occurs on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 67.0.2.
WebRTC in Firefox will honor persisted permissions given to sites for access to microphone and camera resources even when in a third-party context. In light of recent high profile vulnerabilities in other software, a decision was made to no longer persist these permissions. This avoids the possibility of trusted WebRTC resources being invisibly embedded in web content and abusing permissions previously given by users. Users will now be prompted for permissions on each use. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69 and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
A vulnerability exists where if a user opens a locally saved HTML file, this file can use file: URIs to access other files in the same directory or sub-directories if the names are known or guessed. The Fetch API can then be used to read the contents of any files stored in these directories and they may uploaded to a server. It was demonstrated that in combination with a popular Android messaging app, if a malicious HTML attachment is sent to a user and they opened that attachment in Firefox, due to that app's predictable pattern for locally-saved file names, it is possible to read attachments the victim received from other correspondents. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
A hyperlink using the res: protocol can be used to open local files at a known location in Internet Explorer if a user approves execution when prompted. *Note: this issue only occurs on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 67.
A vulnerability exists in WebRTC where malicious web content can use probing techniques on the getUserMedia API using constraints to reveal device properties of cameras on the system without triggering a user prompt or notification. This allows for the potential fingerprinting of users. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69 and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
Thunderbird ignored the configuration to require STARTTLS security for an SMTP connection. A MITM could perform a downgrade attack to intercept transmitted messages, or could take control of the authenticated session to execute SMTP commands chosen by the MITM. If an unprotected authentication method was configured, the MITM could obtain the authentication credentials, too. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.2.
Mozilla Firefox before 46.0 on Android before 5.0 allows attackers to bypass intended Signature access requirements via a crafted application that leverages content-provider permissions, as demonstrated by reading the browser history or a saved password.
Mozilla Firefox before 46.0 on Android does not properly restrict JavaScript access to orientation and motion data, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about a device's physical environment, and possibly discover PIN values, via a crafted web site, a similar issue to CVE-2016-1780.
Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 allows remote attackers to discover the list of disabled plugins via a fingerprinting attack involving Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) pseudo-classes.
A cached side channel attack during handshakes using RSA encryption could allow for the decryption of encrypted content. This is a variant of the Adaptive Chosen Ciphertext attack (AKA Bleichenbacher attack) and affects all NSS versions prior to NSS 3.41.
The layout engine in Mozilla Firefox before 4.0, Thunderbird before 3.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.1 executes different code for visited and unvisited links during the processing of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequences, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about visited web pages via a timing attack.
In the previous mitigations for Spectre, the resolution or precision of various methods was reduced to counteract the ability to measure precise time intervals. In that work PerformanceNavigationTiming was not adjusted but it was found that it could be used as a precision timer. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60, Firefox ESR < 60.1, and Firefox < 61.
A compromised IPC child process can escape the content sandbox and list the names of arbitrary files on the file system without user consent or interaction. This could result in exposure of private local files. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.
The skype_tool.copy_num method in the Skype extension BETA 2.2.0.95 for Firefox allows remote attackers to write arbitrary data to the clipboard via a string argument.
The importScripts Web Worker method in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.11 and 3.6.x before 3.6.7, Thunderbird 3.0.x before 3.0.6 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.6 does not verify that content is valid JavaScript code, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML document.
The internal WebBrowserPersist code does not use correct origin context for a resource being saved. This manifests when sub-resources are loaded as part of "Save Page As..." functionality. For example, a malicious page could recover a visitor's Windows username and NTLM hash by including resources otherwise unreachable to the malicious page, if they can convince the visitor to save the complete web page. Similarly, SameSite cookies are sent on cross-origin requests when the "Save Page As..." menu item is selected to save a page, which can result in saving the wrong version of resources based on those cookies. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63.
Template.pm in Bugzilla 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x before 4.2.16, 4.3.x and 4.4.x before 4.4.11, and 4.5.x and 5.0.x before 5.0.2 does not properly construct CSV files, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging a web browser that interprets CSV data as JavaScript code.
Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 does not properly restrict the availability of High Resolution Time API times, which allows remote attackers to track last-level cache access, and consequently obtain sensitive information, via crafted JavaScript code that makes performance.now calls.
Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 on Android allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and trigger (1) a download or (2) cached profile-data reading via a file: URL in a saved HTML document.
Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 allow user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and discover a redirect's target URL via crafted JavaScript code that executes after a drag-and-drop action of an image into a TEXTBOX element.
