AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Firefox's DOM Navigation component allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise within the browser process by inducing a user to visit a malicious webpage. All Firefox releases prior to version 154 and all active ESR branches (115.x, 140.x, 153.x) are affected, with Mozilla issuing four simultaneous MFSA advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-77) indicating broad impact across every supported release channel. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The sole prerequisite for exploitation is that the victim uses an unpatched Firefox version and visits an attacker-controlled webpage - the CVSS UI:R metric confirms this passive user interaction is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 (High) vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H signals a highly accessible attack: network-reachable, low complexity, no authentication, requiring only passive user interaction (visiting a webpage). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or compromises a website and embeds JavaScript or navigation logic crafted to trigger improper privilege handling in the DOM Navigation component. When a target Firefox user visits the page - the sole required interaction - the malicious navigation event exploits CWE-269 to escalate from web content privileges to elevated browser-internal privileges, granting the attacker full read/write access to browser state, stored credentials, session cookies, and any data accessible within the browser process. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade Firefox immediately: standard release users should update to Firefox 154 or later; ESR 115.x users to Firefox ESR 115.39; ESR 140.x users to Firefox ESR 140.14; ESR 153.x users to Firefox ESR 153.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, notify all Firefox users of the vulnerability and implement temporary restrictions on Firefox usage for sensitive activities; disable Firefox plug-ins that are not essential and enable sandboxing features if available. …
