A race condition with requestPointerLock() and setTimeout() could have resulted in a user interacting with one tab when they believed they were on a separate tab. In conjunction with certain elements (such as <input type="file">) this could have led to an attack where a user was confused about the origin of the webpage and potentially disclosed information they did not intend to. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 88.
The WebGL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, when NVIDIA graphics drivers are used on Mac OS X, allows remote attackers to obtain desktop-screenshot data by reading from a CANVAS element.
During the initialization of a new content process, a race condition occurs that can allow a content process to disclose heap addresses from the parent process. *Note: this issue only occurs on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.4 and Firefox < 72.
Mozilla Firefox 7.0 and Thunderbird 7.0, when the Direct2D (aka D2D) API is used on Windows in conjunction with the Azure graphics back-end, allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy, and obtain sensitive image data from a different domain, by inserting this data into a canvas. NOTE: this issue exists because of a CVE-2011-2986 regression.
A transient execution vulnerability, named Floating Point Value Injection (FPVI) allowed an attacker to leak arbitrary memory addresses and may have also enabled JIT type confusion attacks. (A related vulnerability, Speculative Code Store Bypass (SCSB), did not affect Firefox.). This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.9 and Firefox < 87.
The loadBindingDocument function in Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 does not perform any security checks related to the same-domain policy, which allows remote attackers to read or access data from other domains via crafted XBL bindings.
Firefox for Android suffered from a time-of-check-time-of-use vulnerability that allowed a malicious application to read sensitive data from application directories. Note: This issue is only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86.
Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.16, and 3.x before 3.0.1, interprets '|' (pipe) characters in a command-line URI as requests to open multiple tabs, which allows remote attackers to access chrome:i URIs, or read arbitrary local files via manipulations involving a series of URIs that is not entirely handled by a vector application, as exploited in conjunction with CVE-2008-2540. NOTE: this issue exists because of an insufficient fix for CVE-2005-2267.
The SMTP client in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5 BETA, 1.0.7, and possibly other versions, does not notify users when it cannot establish a secure channel with the server, which allows remote attackers to obtain authentication information without detection via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack that bypasses TLS authentication or downgrades CRAM-MD5 authentication to plain authentication.
The HTML rendering engine in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5, when "Block loading of remote images in mail messages" is enabled, does not properly block external images from inline HTML attachments, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, such as application version or IP address, when the user reads the email and the external image is accessed.
The SPDY protocol 3 and earlier, as used in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and other products, can perform TLS encryption of compressed data without properly obfuscating the length of the unencrypted data, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers by observing length differences during a series of guesses in which a string in an HTTP request potentially matches an unknown string in an HTTP header, aka a "CRIME" attack.
Bugzilla 2.17.x, 2.18 before 2.18.2, 2.19.x, and 2.20 before 2.20rc1 inserts a bug into the database before it is marked private, which introduces a race condition and allows attackers to access information about the bug via buglist.cgi before MySQL replication is complete.
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 allow remote attackers to load local files via links "with a custom getter and toString method" that are middle-clicked by the user to be opened in a new tab.
Mozilla before 1.7, Firefox before 0.9, and Thunderbird before 0.7 allows remote attackers to determine the location of files on a user's hard drive by obscuring a file upload control and tricking the user into dragging text into that control.
Mozilla 1.1 and earlier, and Mozilla-based browsers such as Netscape and Galeon, set the document referrer too quickly in certain situations when a new page is being loaded, which allows web pages to determine the next page that is being visited, including manually entered URLs, using the onunload handler.
The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier, as used in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Qt, and other products, can encrypt compressed data without properly obfuscating the length of the unencrypted data, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers by observing length differences during a series of guesses in which a string in an HTTP request potentially matches an unknown string in an HTTP header, aka a "CRIME" attack.
The ElGamal implementation in Botan through 2.18.1, as used in Thunderbird and other products, allows plaintext recovery because, during interaction between two cryptographic libraries, a certain dangerous combination of the prime defined by the receiver's public key, the generator defined by the receiver's public key, and the sender's ephemeral exponents can lead to a cross-configuration attack against OpenPGP.
Mozilla Developer Nicolas Silva found that when using WebRender, Firefox would under certain conditions leak arbitrary GPU memory to the visible screen. The leaked memory content was visible to the user, but not observable from web content. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 77.
Bugzilla 2.17.1 through 3.2.7, 3.3.1 through 3.4.7, 3.5.1 through 3.6.1, and 3.7 through 3.7.2 generates different error messages depending on whether a product exists, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess product names via unspecified use of the (1) Reports or (2) Duplicates page.
Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 does not properly restrict the availability of IFRAME Resource Timing API times, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via crafted JavaScript code that leverages history.back and performance.getEntries calls after restoring a browser session. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7207.
Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 allows user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive full-pathname information during a local-file drag-and-drop operation via crafted JavaScript code.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.26 and 4.x through 6.0, Thunderbird before 3.1.18 and 5.0 through 6.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.4 do not properly enforce the IPv6 literal address syntax, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by making XMLHttpRequest calls through a proxy and reading the error messages.
In Apache Spark 2.1.0 to 2.1.2, 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, and 2.3.0, it's possible for a malicious user to construct a URL pointing to a Spark cluster's UI's job and stage info pages, and if a user can be tricked into accessing the URL, can be used to cause script to execute and expose information from the user's view of the Spark UI. While some browsers like recent versions of Chrome and Safari are able to block this type of attack, current versions of Firefox (and possibly others) do not.
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.
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.
Multiple race conditions in dom/media/systemservices/CamerasChild.cpp in the WebRTC implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 on Windows might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
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.
Google Chrome before 10.0.648.127 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via unspecified vectors, related to an "error message leak."
The TtfUtil:LocaLookup function in TtfUtil.cpp in Libgraphite in Graphite 2 1.2.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.6.1, incorrectly validates a size value, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted Graphite smart font.
Mozilla Necko, as used in Firefox, SeaMonkey, and other applications, performs DNS prefetching of domain names contained in links within local HTML documents, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine the network location of the application's user by logging DNS requests. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this issue, stating "I don't think we necessarily need to worry about that case."
Mozilla Necko, as used in Thunderbird 3.0.1, SeaMonkey, and other applications, performs DNS prefetching even when the app type is APP_TYPE_MAIL or APP_TYPE_EDITOR, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine the network location of the application's user by logging DNS requests, as demonstrated by DNS requests triggered by reading text/plain e-mail messages in Thunderbird.
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 some cases search terms persisted in the URL bar even after navigating away from the search page. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 141, Firefox ESR < 140.1, Thunderbird < 141, and Thunderbird < 140.1.
The GeckoActiveXObject function in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.16 and 3.5.x before 3.5.6, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.1, generates different exception messages depending on whether the referenced COM object is listed in the registry, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about installed software by making multiple calls that specify the ProgID values of different COM objects.
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.
If a URL using the "file:" protocol is dragged and dropped onto an open tab that is running in a different child process the tab will open a local file corresponding to the dropped URL, contrary to policy. One way to make the target tab open more reliably in a separate process is to open it with the "noopener" keyword. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
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.
Race condition in the SPICE (aka spice-xpi) plug-in 2.2 for Firefox allows local users to obtain sensitive information, and conduct man-in-the-middle attacks, by providing a UNIX socket for communication between this plug-in and the client (aka qspice-client) in qspice 0.3.0, and then accessing this socket.
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.
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 permit cross-origin loading of CSS stylesheets even when the stylesheet download has an incorrect MIME type and the stylesheet document is malformed, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted document.
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.
Under certain circumstances the "fetch()" API can return transient local copies of resources that were sent with a "no-store" or "no-cache" cache header instead of downloading a copy from the network as it should. This can result in previously stored, locally cached data of a website being accessible to users if they share a common profile while browsing. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.7 and Firefox < 59.
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.
Mozilla Firefox, possibly before 3.6, allows remote attackers to discover a redirect's target URL, for the session of a specific user of a web site, by placing the site's URL in the HREF attribute of a stylesheet LINK element, and then reading the document.styleSheets[0].href property value, related to an IFRAME element.
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.
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 JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.5.10 and 3.6.x before 3.6.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.5, allows remote attackers to send selected keystrokes to a form field in a hidden frame, instead of the intended form field in a visible frame, via certain calls to the focus method.
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.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 associate local documents with external domain names located after the file:// substring in a URL, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary cookies via a crafted HTML document, as demonstrated by a URL with file://example.com/C:/ at the beginning.
If the "app.support.baseURL" preference is changed by a malicious local program to contain HTML and script content, this content is not sanitized. It will be executed if a user loads "chrome://browser/content/preferences/in-content/preferences.xul" directly in a tab and executes a search. This stored preference is also executed whenever an EME video player plugin displays a CDM-disabled message as a notification message. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.
