Specially crafted filename could be used to obscure download type
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- 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: 0.29% (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: MozillaFirefox (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 138.0-1.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to MozillaFirefox (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 138.0-1.1 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
A specially crafted filename containing a large number of encoded newline characters could obscure the file's extension when displayed in the download dialog. *This bug only affects Thunderbird for Android. Other versions of Thunderbird are unaffected.*. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 138 and Thunderbird 138.
