A previously installed malicious Android application with same signature-level permissions as Firefox can intercept AuthTokens meant for Firefox only. Note: This issue only affects Firefox for Android. Other versions and operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.
Mozilla Firefox before 48.0, Firefox ESR < 45.4 and Thunderbird < 45.4 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about the previously retrieved page via Resource Timing API calls.
If web content on a page is dragged onto portions of the browser UI, such as the tab bar, links can be opened that otherwise would not be allowed to open. This can allow malicious web content to open a locally stored file through "file:" URLs. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 56.
A vulnerability where the security wrapper does not deny access to some exposed properties using the deprecated "_exposedProps_" mechanism on proxy objects. These properties should be explicitly unavailable to proxy objects. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 57.
Android intent URLs given to Firefox for Android can be used to navigate from HTTP or HTTPS URLs to local "file:" URLs, allowing for the reading of local data through a violation of same-origin policy. Note: This attack only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54.
When Private Browsing mode is used, it is possible for a web worker to write persistent data to IndexedDB and fingerprint a user uniquely. IndexedDB should not be available in Private Browsing mode and this stored data will persist across multiple private browsing mode sessions because it is not cleared when exiting. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.5.2 and Firefox < 57.0.1.
If an existing cookie is changed to be "HttpOnly" while a document is open, the original value remains accessible through script until that document is closed. Network requests correctly use the changed HttpOnly cookie. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Style editor traffic in the Developer Tools can be routed through a service worker hosted on a third party website if a user selects error links when these tools are open. This can allow style editor information used within Developer Tools to leak cross-origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Same-origin protections for the PDF viewer can be bypassed, allowing a malicious site to intercept messages meant for the viewer. This could allow the site to retrieve PDF files restricted to viewing by an authenticated user on a third-party website. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.8 and Firefox < 60.
If an HTTP authentication prompt is triggered by a background network request from a page or extension, it is displayed over the currently loaded foreground page. Although the prompt contains the real domain making the request, this can result in user confusion about the originating site of the authentication request and may cause users to mistakenly send private credential information to a third party site. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
The screenshot images displayed in the Activity Stream page displayed when a new tab is opened is created from the meta tags of websites. An issue was discovered where the page could attempt to create these images through "file:" URLs from the local file system. This loading is blocked by the sandbox but could expose local data if combined with another attack that escapes sandbox protections. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Plaintext of decrypted emails can leak through the src attribute of remote images, or links. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
If websocket data is sent with mixed text and binary in a single message, the binary data can be corrupted. This can result in an out-of-bounds read with the read memory sent to the originating server in response. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
Development Tools panels of an extension are required to load URLs for the panels as relative URLs from the extension manifest file but this requirement was not enforced in all instances. This could allow the development tools panel for the extension to load a URL that it should not be able to access, including potentially privileged pages. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
WebExtensions may use "view-source:" URLs to view local "file:" URL content, as well as content stored in "about:cache", bypassing restrictions that only allow WebExtensions to view specific content. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.
The "browser.identity.launchWebAuthFlow" function of WebExtensions is only allowed to load content over "https:" but this requirement was not properly enforced. This can potentially allow privileged pages to be loaded by the extension. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
The reader view will display cross-origin content when CORS headers are set to prohibit the loading of cross-origin content by a site. This could allow access to content that should be restricted in reader view. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Using remote content in encrypted messages can lead to the disclosure of plaintext. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
A content security policy (CSP) "frame-ancestors" directive containing origins with paths allows for comparisons against those paths instead of the origin. This results in a cross-origin information leak of this path information. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 55.
The printing process can bypass local access protections to read files available through symlinks, bypassing local file restrictions. The printing process requires files in a specific format so arbitrary data cannot be read but it is possible that some local file information could be exposed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
A shared worker created from a "data:" URL in one tab can be shared by another tab with a different origin, bypassing the same-origin policy. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.
The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames devices containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.
For native-to-JS bridging, the app requires a unique token to be passed that ensures non-app code can't call the bridging functions. That token was being used for JS-to-native also, but it isn't needed in this case, and its usage was also leaking this token. This vulnerability affects Firefox for iOS < 25.
When reading from areas partially or fully outside the source resource with WebGL's <code>copyTexSubImage</code> method, the specification requires the returned values be zero. Previously, this memory was uninitialized, leading to potentially sensitive data disclosure. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.7.0, Firefox ESR < 68.7, and Firefox < 75.
When a Web Extension had the all-urls permission and made a fetch request with a mode set to 'same-origin', it was possible for the Web Extension to read local files. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 74.
Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 stores cookies containing vertical tab characters, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading HTTP Cookie headers.
The URL parsing implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 improperly recognizes escaped characters in hostnames within Location headers, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving a redirect.
The importScripts function in the Web Workers API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by triggering use of the no-cors mode in the fetch API to attempt resource access that throws an exception, leading to information disclosure after a rethrow.
The Search feature in Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 on Android through 4.4 supports search-engine URL registration through an intent and can access this URL in a privileged context in conjunction with the crash reporter, which allows attackers to read log files and visit file: URLs of HTML documents via a crafted application.
The TCP Socket API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 mishandles array boundaries that were established with a navigator.mozTCPSocket.open method call and send method calls, which allows remote TCP servers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by reading packet data, as demonstrated by availability of this API in a Firefox OS application.
Bugzilla 2.x and 3.x through 3.6.11, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.8, 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.3, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 stores potentially sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to read (1) template (aka .tmpl) files, (2) other custom extension files under extensions/, or (3) custom documentation files under docs/ via a direct request.
A legacy extension's non-contentaccessible, defined resources can be loaded by an arbitrary web page through script. This script does this by using a maliciously crafted path string to reference the resources. Note: this vulnerability does not affect WebExtensions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.
Bugzilla/Attachment.pm in attachment.cgi in Bugzilla 2.x and 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 allows remote attackers to read attachment descriptions from private bugs via an obsolete=1 insert action.
If a text string that happens to be a filename in the operating system's native format is dragged and dropped onto the addressbar the specified local file will be opened. This is contrary to policy and is what would happen if the string were the equivalent "file:" URL. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
Image for moz-icons can be accessed through the "moz-icon:" protocol through script in web content even when otherwise prohibited. This could allow for information leakage of which applications are associated with specific MIME types by a malicious page. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.
The PRNG implementation in the DNS resolver in Mozilla Firefox (aka Fennec) before 37.0 on Android does not properly generate random numbers for query ID values and UDP source ports, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof DNS responses by guessing these numbers, a related issue to CVE-2012-2808.
The format-number functionality in the XSLT implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 15.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.7, Thunderbird before 15.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.7, and SeaMonkey before 2.12 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors that trigger a heap-based buffer over-read.
Feed preview for RSS feeds can be used to capture errors and exceptions generated by privileged content, allowing for the exposure of internal information not meant to be seen by web content. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 51.
If a Sandbox content process is compromised, it can initiate an FTP download which will then use a child process to render the downloaded data. The downloaded data can then be passed to the Chrome process with an arbitrary file length supplied by an attacker, bypassing sandbox protections and allow for a potential memory read of adjacent data from the privileged Chrome process, which may include sensitive data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.
A service worker can send the activate event on itself periodically which allows it to run perpetually, allowing it to monitor activity by users. Affects all versions prior to Firefox 60.
The qcms_transform_data_rgb_out_lut_sse2 function in the QCMS implementation in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 13.0, Thunderbird 5.0 through 13.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.11 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted color profile that triggers an out-of-bounds read operation.
dom/base/nsJSEnvironment.cpp 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 properly suppress a script's URL in certain circumstances involving a redirect and an error message, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about script parameters via a crafted HTML document, related to the window.onerror handler.
The HTTP/2 protocol does not consider the role of the TCP congestion window in providing information about content length, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data by leveraging a web-browser configuration in which third-party cookies are sent, aka a "HEIST" attack.
Mozilla Firefox does not warn the user about HTTP elements on an HTTPS page when the HTTP elements are dynamically created by a delayed document.write, which allows remote attackers to supply unauthenticated content and conduct phishing attacks.
The SVG filter implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.4, Thunderbird before 24.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive displacement-correlation information, and possibly bypass the Same Origin Policy and read text from a different domain, via a timing attack involving feDisplacementMap elements, a related issue to CVE-2013-1693.
The saltProfileName function in base/GeckoProfileDirectories.java in Mozilla Firefox through 28.0.1 on Android relies on Android's weak approach to seeding the Math.random function, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass a profile-randomization protection mechanism via a crafted application.
The Alarm API in Mozilla Firefox before 33.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.2 does not properly restrict toJSON calls, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via crafted API calls that access sensitive information within the JSON data of an alarm.
content/base/src/nsDocument.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 33.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.2, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.2 does not consider whether WebRTC video sharing is occurring, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from the local camera in certain IFRAME situations by maintaining a session after the user temporarily navigates away.
Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 do not properly change the source URI when processing a canvas element and an HTTP redirect, which allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin policy and access arbitrary images that are not directly accessible to the attacker. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to enumerate software on the client by performing redirections related to moz-icon.
Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 stores cookies with names containing vertical tab characters, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading HTTP Cookie headers. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7208.
