CVE-2024-5696· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mozilla

By manipulating the text in an `<input>` tag, an attacker could have caused corrupt memory leading to a potentially exploitable crash.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.80% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 56.4% 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: firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 115.12.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:8) 115.12.1-1.el8_10.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:9) 115.12.0-1.el9_4.alma.1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 115.12.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:8) 115.12.1-1.el8_10.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:9) 115.12.0-1.el9_4.alma.1 or later.
