DescriptionNVD

Sandbox escape due to use-after-free in the Disability Access APIs component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 149 and Firefox ESR < 140.9.

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Mozilla Firefox's Disability Access APIs component due to a use-after-free memory vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with full system compromise. Firefox versions below 149 and Firefox ESR below 140.9 are affected, with no patch currently available. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network without user interaction, presenting critical risk to all affected users.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is rooted in a use-after-free memory safety issue within the Accessibility (a11y) APIs component, which is responsible for exposing browser internals to assistive technologies. Use-after-free flaws occur when code attempts to access memory that has already been freed, potentially allowing an attacker to control freed memory regions and execute arbitrary code. The affected products are identified via CPE as Mozilla Firefox (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and Firefox ESR (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_esr:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), indicating all versions prior to the patched releases are vulnerable. The Disability Access APIs, while designed to improve accessibility, expose a larger attack surface by bridging the gap between web content and system-level accessibility services, making memory safety critical in this component.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade Firefox to version 149 or later and Firefox ESR to version 140.9 or later to patch the use-after-free vulnerability. Users unable to update immediately should restrict their browsing to trusted, HTTPS-enabled sites and consider disabling accessibility features if not required, though this is not a complete mitigation. Organizations should prioritize patching Firefox across all endpoints, as sandbox escape vulnerabilities can lead to system compromise and should be treated with the same urgency as operating system kernel vulnerabilities. Consult the official Mozilla security advisories at https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-20/ and https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-22/ for detailed patch delivery mechanisms and any additional guidance.
