DescriptionCVE.org

JIT miscompilation in the JavaScript Engine component. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 149 and Firefox ESR < 140.9.

AnalysisAI

A JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation miscompilation vulnerability exists in Firefox's JavaScript Engine that can lead to information disclosure. This affects Firefox versions below 149 and Firefox ESR versions below 140.9. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability through malicious JavaScript code to potentially disclose sensitive information from the browser's memory or process space.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the JavaScript Engine component of Mozilla Firefox, specifically in the JIT compiler which translates JavaScript bytecode into native machine code for performance optimization. The affected products are identified via CPE strings cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_esr:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating all versions of both Firefox and Firefox ESR up to the patched releases are potentially vulnerable. JIT miscompilation occurs when the compiler incorrectly optimizes code, potentially causing unintended memory access or state leakage. While a specific CWE was not provided in the vulnerability data, JIT miscompilation issues typically fall under CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) or related memory safety categories. The vulnerability's classification as an information disclosure issue suggests the miscompilation allows reading memory that should be restricted from access.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Firefox to version 149 or later, and Firefox ESR to version 140.9 or later immediately. Users should navigate to Help > About Firefox (or Help > About Firefox ESR) which will automatically download and prompt installation of the latest patched version. Organizations managing Firefox deployments should use Mozilla's official security advisories at https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-20/ and https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-22/ to coordinate patching across their environments. Until patching is completed, users should avoid visiting untrusted websites and consider disabling JavaScript in high-risk scenarios, though this significantly impacts web functionality. Additionally, keeping Firefox and Firefox ESR updated with automatic security updates enabled is the primary control to prevent exploitation of JIT miscompilation vulnerabilities.
