The Mozilla Maintenance Service can be invoked by an unprivileged user to read 32 bytes of any arbitrary file on the local system by convincing the service that it is reading a status file provided by the Mozilla Windows Updater. The Mozilla Maintenance Service executes with privileged access, bypassing system protections against unprivileged users. Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.2 and Firefox < 54.

Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.11 associates an incorrect principal with a file: URL loaded through the location bar, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read files via a crafted HTML document, aka a "file-URL-to-file-URL scripting" attack.

An issue with incorrect ownership model of "privateBrowsing" information exposed through developer tools. This can result in a non-exploitable crash when manually triggered during debugging. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 53.

If an attacker needed a user to load an insecure http: page and knew that user had enabled HTTPS-only mode, the attacker could have tricked the user into clicking to grant an HTTPS-only exception if they could get the user to participate in a clicking game. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120.

Same-origin policy bypass in the DOM: Workers component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145 and Firefox ESR < 140.5.

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.

JIT miscompilation in the JavaScript Engine: JIT component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 145.

Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows XP SP3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via JavaScript code that creates multiple arrays containing elements with long string values, and then appends long strings to the content of a P element, related to the gfxWindowsFontGroup::MakeTextRun function in xul.dll, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1571.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the browser's session with an arbitrary intranet web server, by hosting script on an Internet web server that can be made inaccessible by the attacker and that has a domain name under the attacker's control, which can force the browser to drop DNS pinning and perform a new DNS query for the domain name after the script is already running.

Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 90. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 91.

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 and earlier, 3.5, 3.6 a1 pre, and 3.7 a1 pre does not properly block data: URIs in Location headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Location header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI or (2) entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Location header. NOTE: the JavaScript executes outside of the context of the HTTP site.

Mozilla Firefox 8.0.1 and earlier does not prevent capture of data about the times of Same Origin Policy violations during IFRAME loading attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine whether a document exists in the browser cache via crafted JavaScript code.

By using the reflected URL in some special resource URIs, such as chrome:, it is possible to inject stylesheets and bypass Content Security Policy (CSP). This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63.

The update implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 on Windows does not ensure that the pathname for updater.exe corresponds to the application directory, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.

Starting with Firefox 142, it was possible for a compromised child process to trigger a use-after-free in the GPU or browser process using WebGPU-related IPC calls. This may have been usable to escape the child process sandbox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 144.0.2.

WebExtension scripts can use the "data:" protocol to affect pages loaded by other web extensions using this protocol, leading to potential data disclosure or privilege escalation in affected extensions. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.7 and Firefox < 51.

The WebGL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 does not properly allocate memory for copying an unspecified string to a shader's compilation log, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted WebGL content.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the navigator.getGamepads function in the Gamepad API in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using non-contiguous axes with a (1) physical or (2) virtual Gamepad device.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the nestegg_track_codec_data function in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted header in a WebM video.

If the source for resources on a page is through an FTP connection, it is possible to trigger a series of modal alert messages for these resources through invalid credentials or locations. These messages cannot be immediately dismissed, allowing for a denial of service (DOS) attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.
