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.

Mozilla developers and community members reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 65. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 66.

Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 allows remote attackers to bypass certain ECMAScript 5 (aka ES5) API protection mechanisms and modify immutable properties, and consequently execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges, via a crafted web page that does not use ES5 APIs.

Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 does not recognize a referrer policy delivered by a referrer META element in cases of context-menu navigation and middle-click navigation, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading web-server Referer logs that contain private data in a URL, as demonstrated by a private path component.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script "into another site's context" via a "timing issue" involving the (1) addEventListener or (2) setTimeout function, probably by setting events that activate after the context has changed.

A website could have obscured the full screen notification by using the file open dialog. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the ServiceWorkerInfo class in the Service Worker subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 46.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the BeginReading method.

Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 on Android does not ensure that the address bar is restored upon fullscreen-mode exit, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via crafted JavaScript code.

Firefox, when opening Microsoft Word documents, does not properly set the permissions on shared sections, which allows remote attackers to write arbitrary data to open applications in Microsoft Office.

Special "about:" pages used by web content, such as RSS feeds, can load privileged "about:" pages in an iframe. If a content-injection bug were found in one of those pages this could allow for potential privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 51.

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.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4 assigns chrome privileges to a file: URI when it is accessed in the same tab from a chrome or privileged about: page, which makes it easier for user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via malicious code in a file that has already been saved on the local system.

Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 ignores Content Security Policy (CSP) directives for cross-domain Java applets, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted applet.

content/html/document/src/nsHTMLDocument.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read an arbitrary content selection via the document.getSelection function.

The Live Bookmarks page and the PDF viewer can run injected script content if a user pastes script from the clipboard into them while viewing RSS feeds or PDF files. This could allow a malicious site to socially engineer a user to copy and paste malicious script content that could then run with the context of either page but does not allow for privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.5 does not prevent use of document.write to replace an IFRAME (1) during the load stage or (2) in the case of an about:blank frame, which allows remote attackers to display arbitrary HTML or execute certain JavaScript code, as demonstrated by code that intercepts keystroke values from window.event, aka the "promiscuous IFRAME access bug," a related issue to CVE-2006-4568.

The FileReader class in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by changing a file during a FileReader API read operation.

A memory allocation check was missing which would lead to a use-after-free if the allocation failed. This could have triggered a crash or potentially be leveraged to achieve code execution. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 126.

Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 81. 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 < 82.
