DescriptionCVE.org

Use-after-free in the DOM: Bindings (WebIDL) component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 151, Firefox ESR 115.36, and Firefox ESR 140.11.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption in Mozilla Firefox's DOM Bindings (WebIDL) layer allows a remote attacker to trigger a use-after-free (CWE-416) by serving crafted web content, potentially leading to information disclosure or memory-corruption-based control-flow effects. The flaw affects Firefox before 151 and the ESR 115.x and 140.x branches, and is patched in Firefox 151, ESR 115.36, and ESR 140.11. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS probability is very low (0.05%) and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in Firefox's DOM Bindings (WebIDL) subsystem, the glue layer that maps JavaScript-visible DOM interfaces to their underlying C++ implementations. WebIDL-generated bindings manage object lifetimes and reference counting between the JS engine (SpiderMonkey) and native DOM objects; a use-after-free here (CWE-416) means an object is freed while a JavaScript-reachable reference still points at it, so subsequent access reads or writes reclaimed heap memory. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the desktop Firefox application as the affected product. Because bindings execute in the content process while parsing/scripting attacker-controlled pages, the trigger surface is any web page rendered by the browser.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Firefox 151, Firefox ESR 115.36, or Firefox ESR 140.11 as appropriate for your channel, per the Mozilla advisories at https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-46/ (and mfsa2026-47/48/50/51). Enterprise Linux users should apply the corresponding distribution updates: SUSE SUSE-SU-2026:2039 (https://www.suse.com/support/update/SUSE-SU-2026:2039/) and the Red Hat errata RHSA-2026:21378/21380/21381/21382/22325/22643 (https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:21378). Because the bug is in core DOM bindings there is no clean feature-level workaround; interim compensating controls until patching include restricting browsing to trusted sites, deploying strict content/JavaScript controls or an isolation/sandboxing layer (e.g., enterprise policy to limit untrusted content), all of which reduce usability and do not fully eliminate the exposure, so patching remains the only reliable fix.
