CVE-2025-6433· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mozilla

WebAuthn would allow a user to sign a challenge on a webpage with an invalid TLS certificate

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)

  • 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.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: firefox-esr (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.1.0-1.1; MozillaFirefox (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.0.2-1.1; MozillaThunderbird (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.1.0-1.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to firefox-esr (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.1.0-1.1; MozillaFirefox (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.0.2-1.1; MozillaThunderbird (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 140.1.0-1.1 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

If a user visited a webpage with an invalid TLS certificate, and granted an exception, the webpage was able to provide a WebAuthn challenge that the user would be prompted to complete. This is in violation of the WebAuthN spec which requires "a secure transport established without errors". This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 140 and Thunderbird 140.

Root cause

A certificate validation error is silently swallowed instead of terminating the connection. Often, code added for a test environment makes its way into production.
