MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to use Firefox and to load attacker-controlled content that is processed by the Graphics component (e.g., visiting a malicious or compromised web page), as reflected by UI:R in the CVSS vector - this user-interaction requirement is the primary limiting factor and rules out zero-click/drive-by exploitation. No authentication is required (PR:N), and no special non-default configuration is indicated in the description. The window is limited to unpatched versions prior to Firefox 158, ESR 115.43, and ESR 153.5; systems on those fixed builds are not exploitable. |
| Impact | This is a legitimate high-severity client-side vulnerability but not a top-priority emergency based on current signals. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R, C:H/I:H/A:H, score 8.8) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw that nonetheless requires user interaction - consistent with a browser victim visiting a malicious or compromised web page. The signals are internally consistent: CWE-190 integer overflow in the Graphics component plausibly leads to memory corruption and full C/I/A impact, matching the 'Integer Overflow'/'Buffer Overflow' tags. However, the exploitation-probability signals argue against imminent mass exploitation: EPSS is only 0.16% (5th percentile), the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced. No SSVC decision data was provided. Net: a serious memory-safety browser bug that warrants prompt patching in the normal update cycle, but there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization at this time. Note the UI:R requirement meaningfully limits drive-by risk compared to a zero-click flaw. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a web page containing crafted graphics content that triggers the integer overflow in Firefox's Graphics component when rendered. A user is lured (via phishing, malvertising, or a compromised site) into visiting the page, and the resulting memory corruption could allow arbitrary code execution in the browser's context. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so exploitation would currently require independent development. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 15, 2026
Integer overflow in Mozilla Firefox's Graphics component (CWE-190) can lead to memory corruption and potential remote code execution when a user loads a malicious web page. Affected versions are prior to Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 115.43, and Firefox ESR 153.5; exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and no authentication. No public exploit code has been identified, and the EPSS score is low at 0.16% (5th percentile), though the vulnerability is rated high severity (CVSS 8.8).
RemediationAI
Apply vendor patches: upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 115.43, or Firefox ESR 153.5 as detailed in the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories (MFSA2026-106 through MFSA2026-110, e.g., https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-106/). For systems that cannot be immediately patched, consider disabling WebGL via about:config (webgl.disabled=true) or using an alternative browser, though these may break web content and are not fully comprehensive. Given no public exploit code and a low EPSS score (0.16%), patching can be prioritized in standard update cycles rather than emergency response.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Graphics component in Mozilla Firefox processes visual content such as images, canvas operations, and WebGL rendering. An integer overflow (CWE-190) occurs when a size or index calculation exceeds the maximum value of the integer type, leading to incorrect memory allocation or bounds checking, which can result in a heap buffer overflow (as indicated by the 'Buffer Overflow' tag). This vulnerability is client-side and requires the victim to load attacker-controlled content processed by this component, as reflected by UI:R in the CVSS vector; no authentication is needed (PR:N). It affects Firefox versions prior to 158, ESR prior to 115.43, and ESR prior to 153.5, and was fixed in those releases.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Integer overflow in the Graphics component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 115.43, and Firefox ESR 153.5.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Mozilla Firefox for web browsing face a high-severity security risk that could allow attackers to compromise user endpoints through malicious websites. The vulnerability remains unpatched, with no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though exploitation requires user interaction. Leadership should prioritize interim mitigations and prepare for rapid patching once a fix is released to prevent potential data theft or system disruption.
No vendor patch available; interim mitigations include enforcing browser isolation, restricting web access to trusted sites, disabling unnecessary browser features (e.g., JavaScript or WebGL) if operationally feasible, ensuring EDR coverage, and considering alternative browsers for sensitive tasks.
Threat Intelligence Overview
How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
