CVE-2024-9396
CVE-2024-9396 is a potential memory corruption vulnerability affecting Firefox and Thunderbird. Triggered during structured cloning of specific objects, it poses a risk, though exploitability is currently unknown. This vulnerability impacts Firefox versions prior to 131, Firefox ESR versions prior to 128.3, and Thunderbird versions prior to 128.3 and 131. While the CVSS score is 8.8, indicating high severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting the immediate threat is not critical at this time. Despite the lower SVRS, organizations using the affected software should monitor for updates and apply patches promptly to mitigate potential cybersecurity risks. Memory corruption vulnerabilities can lead to application crashes, arbitrary code execution, and other severe consequences, making vigilance crucial. This security flaw underscores the importance of keeping software up-to-date and staying informed about potential vulnerabilities.
