CVE-2024-9392
CVE-2024-9392 is a critical vulnerability affecting Firefox and Thunderbird, potentially allowing arbitrary loading of cross-origin pages. This cross-origin issue arises from a compromised content process. The security flaw impacts Firefox versions less than 131, Firefox ESR versions less than 128.3 and 115.16, and Thunderbird versions less than 128.3 and 131. Despite a high CVSS score of 9.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower level of immediate threat compared to vulnerabilities with SVRS scores above 80. However, because it is tagged "In The Wild", continuous monitoring is important. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or malicious code execution, making patching essential, particularly in environments where these applications are widely used. Ignoring this patch could open the door to significant security breaches.
