MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to actively load attacker-controlled web content in Firefox (UI:R) - for example by visiting a malicious or compromised site - so this cannot be triggered without user interaction and cannot be mass-automated (SSVC Automatable=no). No authentication or prior privileges are needed on the target (PR:N), and no non-default configuration is indicated by the description; the flaw lies in the default Networking component of Firefox. The impact is limited to disclosure of some confidential information (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect, and the fix is simply upgrading to Firefox 158 or Firefox ESR 153.5.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-to-moderate priority issue, and the available signals are largely consistent. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw that nonetheless requires user interaction and yields only a limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect - consistent with CWE-200 information disclosure in Firefox's Networking component. CISA's SSVC framework reinforces the modest rating: Exploitation=none (no observed or public exploitation), Automatable=no (the UI:R requirement means it cannot be mass-scripted at scale), and Technical Impact=partial (matching C:L). The vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list and no public proof-of-concept is referenced, so this is best treated as a routine browser-hardening fix rather than an emergency. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood could not be factored in - this is a data gap, not a signal of safety. The one caveat: Mozilla's advisories (MFSA2026-106/108) are terse and the Bugzilla entry (bug 2068372) is almost certainly access-restricted as is typical for security bugs, so the precise nature of the disclosed information is not independently verifiable from the provided data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or compromises a web page and lures a Firefox user into visiting it (the UI:R requirement). When the browser processes the malicious content through the affected Networking component, a limited amount of information the user's browser should have kept private is leaked back to the attacker. No proof-of-concept or active exploitation is referenced, and the low attack complexity means a successful lure reliably triggers the flaw.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

Information disclosure in the Networking component of Mozilla Firefox can leak some confidential information to remote, unauthenticated attackers who persuade a victim to load attacker-controlled web content, as successful exploitation depends on user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). The flaw affects Firefox builds prior to 158 and Firefox ESR builds prior to 153.5, and its impact is capped at partial confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect (CVSS 4.3). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no', and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, making this a low-to-moderate priority item best resolved through routine browser updating.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Mozilla Firefox 158 and Mozilla Firefox ESR 153.5. Upgrade standard-channel installations to Firefox 158 or later, and ESR installations to Firefox ESR 153.5 or later; both fixes are described in the vendor advisories https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-106/ and https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-108/. For fleets, enable and verify automatic updates, or push the patched build through enterprise policy management on the ESR channel so managed endpoints move to 153.5 without waiting for user-initiated updates, and confirm the browser version in about:support afterward. Because exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled web content (UI:R) and the impact is limited to partial information disclosure, there is no meaningful standalone workaround that fully removes risk - disabling networking features is not a viable control for a browser - but reducing exposure to untrusted sites, keeping strict content-blocking and site-isolation settings enabled, and prioritizing the update on endpoints that browse the open web all lower the practical likelihood of a successful attack in the interim.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in Firefox's default Networking component - the browser's internal stack responsible for handling network requests, responses and related data flows - and maps to CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), meaning the root cause class is improper handling or exposure of data that should remain confidential rather than memory corruption or code execution. Because the CVSS vector carries PR:N, the attacker needs no authentication or prior privileges on the target, and because it carries UI:R, the attack cannot be triggered without the victim actively rendering attacker-controlled content, which is also why SSVC records Automatable=no and Exploitation=none. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies Mozilla Firefox as the affected product family across the unpatched version range, and with Scope=Unchanged the impact stays confined to the browser's confidentiality boundary. Mozilla's internal tracking is public bug 2068372, and the fixes shipped in the Firefox 158 release and Firefox ESR 153.5 security updates (MFSA 2026-106 and MFSA 2026-108).
