  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 9.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 95.4% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: thunderbird (Debian:12) 1:60.7.1-1; thunderbird (Debian:8) 1:60.7.1-1~deb8u1; thunderbird (Debian:9) 1:60.7.1-1~deb9u1.
