Integrity: Low
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 26 Nov 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Mozilla Firefox to 133 or 128.5.

AI-suggested

European organizations should ensure that all instances of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are updated to versions 133 or later, or ESR versions 128.5 or later, as these contain fixes for CVE-2024-11692. If you cannot patch yet, organizations can mitigate risk by educating users about the possibility of UI spoofing and encouraging vigilance when interacting with dropdown menus, especially on untrusted websites or email content. Implementing browser hardening policies that restrict or monitor the execution of untrusted scripts can reduce the attack surface. Additionally, deploying endpoint protection solutions that detect phishing and social engineering attempts can help identify exploitation attempts leveraging this vulnerability. Network-level controls such as web filtering to block known malicious sites may also reduce exposure. Regular security awareness training emphasizing the recognition of UI anomalies and suspicious interactions is recommended to complement technical controls.

Description

An attacker could cause a select dropdown to be shown over another tab; this could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 133, Firefox ESR < 128.5, Thunderbird < 133, and Thunderbird < 128.5.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily through social engineering and phishing campaigns. Since Firefox and Thunderbird are widely used across Europe in both corporate and personal environments, attackers could exploit this flaw to deceive users into interacting with fake UI elements, potentially leading to credential theft or unauthorized actions. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise system confidentiality or availability, the integrity of user interactions is at risk, which can indirectly lead to data breaches or unauthorized access if users are tricked into submitting sensitive information. Sectors with high reliance on secure communications, such as finance, government, and critical infrastructure, may be particularly concerned about the potential for spoofing attacks. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the widespread deployment of affected versions means organizations should prioritize patching to prevent future exploitation.
