CVE-2024-9394· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mozilla

An attacker could, via a specially crafted multipart response, execute arbitrary JavaScript under the `resource://devtools` origin.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)

  • 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: 0.52% (FIRST EPSS).
  • 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) 128.3.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:8) 128.3.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:9) 128.3.0-1.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) 128.3.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:8) 128.3.0-1.el8_10.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:9) 128.3.0-1.el9_4.alma.1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An attacker could, via a specially crafted multipart response, execute arbitrary JavaScript under the `resource://devtools` origin. This could allow them to access cross-origin JSON content. This access is limited to "same site" documents by the Site Isolation feature on desktop clients, but full cross-origin access is possible on Android versions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 131, Firefox ESR < 128.3, Firefox ESR < 115.16, Thunderbird < 128.3, and Thunderbird < 131.
