GHSA-PC4V-68RV-24Q5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 03:11 – Updated: 2025-11-25 18:32

Details

Add-on updates failed to verify that the add-on ID inside the signed package matched the ID of the add-on being updated. An attacker who could perform a man-in-the-middle attack on the user's connection to the update server and defeat the certificate pinning protection could provide a malicious signed add-on instead of a valid update. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.5 and Firefox < 50.

Severity ?

5.9 (Medium)
