A compromised web child process could disable web security opening restrictions, leading to a new child process being spawned within the file:// context. Given a reliable exploit primitive, this new process could be exploited again leading to arbitrary file read. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 109.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Firefox Mozilla * 109.0 (excluding)
