CVE-2026-2768: Sandbox escape in the Storage: IndexedDB component

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)

  • 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: 0.43% (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 (AlmaLinux:10) 140.8.0-2.el10_1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 140.8.0-2.el10_1.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 140.8.0-2.el8_10.alma.1.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to firefox (AlmaLinux:10) 140.8.0-2.el10_1; thunderbird (AlmaLinux:10) 140.8.0-2.el10_1.alma.1; firefox (AlmaLinux:8) 140.8.0-2.el8_10.alma.1 or later.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.
