Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker exploits Canvas2D rendering in Firefox versions < 149 (standard), < 115.34 (ESR), or < 140.9 (ESR). Victim must visit a webpage containing malicious Canvas2D code. No special browser configuration required; default installations vulnerable.

Impact

While CVSS score and vector data are unavailable, the vulnerability demonstrates moderate to high real-world risk based on the following signals: (1) The attack vector is network-based, as Canvas2D can be manipulated through web content without requiring user privileges; (2) The information disclosure impact is confirmed in tags and description, indicating sensitive data exposure potential; (3) Mozilla issued three separate security advisories (MFSA2026-20, MFSA2026-21, MFSA2026-22), suggesting coordinated disclosure across multiple affected branches; (4) The CVE affects three distinct product lines simultaneously (standard Firefox and two ESR branches), indicating widespread impact; (5) Boundary condition vulnerabilities in graphics APIs are typically lower complexity to exploit through crafted web content. Absence of EPSS and KEV data prevents quantitative exploitation likelihood assessment, but the structured advisory response and multi-branch impact suggests this is a genuine priority requiring timely patching rather than a theoretical issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a malicious website containing crafted HTML5 Canvas2D drawing commands that trigger the boundary condition vulnerability. When a Firefox user visits the site, the attacker's JavaScript code executes Canvas2D operations that read out-of-bounds memory due to improper boundary validation, potentially revealing sensitive data such as authentication tokens, cached credentials, or other process memory contents. The attack requires no user interaction beyond visiting a web page and works silently in the background without visible errors, making it a practical information disclosure vector for credential theft or browser profiling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 24, 2026

A boundary condition vulnerability exists in Mozilla Firefox's Graphics Canvas2D component that enables information disclosure attacks. The vulnerability affects Firefox versions below 149, Firefox ESR below 115.34, and Firefox ESR below 140.9. An attacker can exploit incorrect boundary condition handling in Canvas2D operations to read sensitive data from memory, potentially disclosing user information or browser-internal data through a web-based attack vector.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade Mozilla Firefox to version 149 or later, Firefox ESR to version 115.34 or later, or Firefox ESR to version 140.9 or later, depending on your installation branch. Consult https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-20/, https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-21/, and https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-22/ for detailed upgrade instructions specific to your ESR branch. For organizations unable to patch immediately, restrict user access to untrusted web content and disable Canvas2D functionality if operationally feasible through browser policies or content security policies. Monitor Firefox update channels for availability of patches if they have not yet been released, as this appears to be a coordinated vulnerability disclosure with patches expected imminently.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in the Canvas2D graphics rendering component, a core HTML5 Canvas API implementation in Firefox's rendering engine. Canvas2D operations involve buffer management and pixel manipulation at the graphics abstraction layer. The root cause is categorized as an incorrect boundary condition issue, meaning the code fails to properly validate or enforce memory access limits during Canvas2D operations. This affects the entire Firefox family across multiple ESR (Extended Support Release) branches: standard Firefox (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and both Firefox ESR product lines (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_esr:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The boundary condition flaw likely permits out-of-bounds memory reads when processing canvas drawing commands, allowing attackers to access unintended memory regions.
