Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to visit a malicious or attacker-influenced webpage using an unpatched Firefox browser, satisfying the user interaction requirement (UI:R). The CVSS vector PR:N confirms no attacker authentication is needed against the browser or any service. The attack is network-delivered (AV:N) against a standard, default Firefox installation - no special configuration or non-default feature enablement is required beyond normal Web Push API availability, which is enabled by default. Exploitation is limited to reading a subset of confidential data (C:L) with no write or denial-of-service capability. Scope is unaffected (S:U), meaning the vulnerability cannot be used to break out of the browser sandbox or compromise the underlying OS from this vector alone. The mandatory user interaction is the primary real-world limiting factor distinguishing this from a fully opportunistic attack.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N yields a 4.3 Medium score, accurately capturing a flaw that is network-reachable and requires no attacker authentication but depends on victim interaction and carries only limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequences. No EPSS probability data was supplied in the intelligence feed, and the absence of a CISA KEV entry combined with no identified public exploit code suggests this vulnerability has not been widely operationalized. The UI:R constraint is a meaningful real-world limiter - exploitation requires a user to visit or interact with attacker-controlled content, ruling out purely autonomous scanning. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in olsztyn managing a Firefox-standardized desktop fleet should treat patching as routine cycle work rather than an emergency response, given the limited data exposure and absence of confirmed active exploitation. The primary risk scenario involves targeted credential or subscription-key harvesting against specific users rather than broad opportunistic campaigns.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious or compromised webpage that triggers interaction with the DOM Push Subscriptions API when visited by a Firefox user, causing the browser to disclose subscription endpoint data or associated keys to the attacker-controlled page context. The victim must visit the page and interact with it (satisfying the UI:R requirement), after which exfiltrated subscription data could be used to impersonate notification sources or de-anonymize the user. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely in the near term.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 18, 2026

Information disclosure through Firefox's DOM Push Subscriptions component exposes limited confidential data to network-positioned attackers who can induce user interaction. All Firefox releases prior to 154 and both Firefox ESR branches (pre-140.14 and pre-153.1) are affected, with Mozilla issuing at least six security advisories (mfsa2026-74 through mfsa2026-80) addressing this and related issues. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.3 Medium rating reflects the limited scope of data exposed and the mandatory user-interaction requirement.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Firefox 154 or later for standard release users, Firefox ESR 140.14 or later for the long-term support 140 branch, or Firefox ESR 153.1 or later for the 153 ESR branch, as confirmed by Mozilla advisories at https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-74/, https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-76/, and https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-77/. Firefox typically auto-updates; administrators managing enterprise deployments via policy should force an update cycle or verify version compliance using browser management tools. If immediate patching is not possible, disabling web push notification permissions globally via enterprise policy (dom.push.enabled = false in user.js or Firefox policy JSON) would eliminate exposure to this component, at the cost of disabling all web push notification functionality for users. The upstream bugzilla issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2059053 may contain additional technical detail for defenders who need to assess exposure prior to patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in Firefox's implementation of the Web Push API, specifically within the DOM Push Subscriptions interface that browsers expose to web content for managing push notification subscriptions. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) identifies the root cause as improper information handling - subscription metadata such as endpoint URLs or cryptographic keys managed by the DOM may be accessible to contexts that should not observe them. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the flaw spans the entire Firefox product line without platform restriction. The Web Push API is standardized under RFC 8030 and widely used by websites for notification delivery, making this component present in all standard Firefox installs.
