CVE-2026-6786: Vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox
Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 140.9, Thunderbird ESR 140.9, Firefox 149 and Thunderbird 149. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 150, Firefox ESR 140.10, Thunderbird 150, and Thunderbird 140.10.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability comprises multiple memory safety bugs in Firefox and Thunderbird versions prior to 150 and ESR 140.10. These bugs include use-after-free, uninitialized memory, incorrect boundary conditions, and other memory corruption issues across various components such as DOM, WebRTC, JavaScript engine, graphics, and networking. The bugs could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with user interaction. Mozilla released official security updates in Firefox 150 and ESR 140.10 to address these issues comprehensively.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and denial of service. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, no exploits are currently known to be active in the wild. The vulnerabilities affect multiple core components of Firefox and Thunderbird, increasing the potential attack surface if unpatched.
Mitigation Recommendations
Official security updates fixing these vulnerabilities are available in Firefox 150, Firefox ESR 140.10, Thunderbird 150, and Thunderbird ESR 140.10. Users and administrators should apply these updates promptly to mitigate the risk. Since the vendor has released official fixes, upgrading to these versions or later is the recommended remediation. There is no indication from the vendor advisory that any additional mitigations or workarounds are required.
