Sandbox escape in the Security: Process Sandboxing component
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 38/100)
- 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: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: firefox (AlmaLinux:10) 140.12.0-1.el10_2; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 140.12.0-1.el10_2.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 140.12.0-1.el8_10.alma.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to firefox (AlmaLinux:10) 140.12.0-1.el10_2; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 140.12.0-1.el10_2.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 140.12.0-1.el8_10.alma.1 or later.
