Given a compromised sandboxed content process due to a separate vulnerability, it is possible to escape that sandbox by loading accounts.firefox.com in that process and forcing a log-in to a malicious Firefox Sync account. Preference settings that disable the sandbox are then synchronized to the local machine and the compromised browser would restart without the sandbox if a crash is triggered. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 68.1, and Firefox < 69.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Firefox Mozilla * 69.0 (excluding)
Firefox_esr Mozilla * 60.9 (excluding)
Firefox_esr Mozilla 61.0 (including) 68.1 (excluding)
