Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-11696
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/347.html

The application failed to account for exceptions thrown by the loadManifestFromFile method during add-on signature verification. This flaw, triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest, could have caused runtime errors that disrupted the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may have been bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the users computer have not tampered with the users extensions, limiting the impact of this issue. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 133, Firefox ESR < 128.5, Thunderbird < 133, and Thunderbird < 128.5.

Weakness

The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data.
