Summary
firefox vulnerabilities
Details

Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information across domains, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-37201, CVE-2023-37202, CVE-2023-37205, CVE-2023-37207, CVE-2023-37209, CVE-2023-37210, CVE-2023-37211, CVE-2023-37212)

Martin Hostettler discovered that Firefox did not properly block storage of all cookies when configured. An attacker could potentially exploits this issue to store tracking data without permission in localstorage. (CVE-2023-3482)

Paul Nickerson discovered that Firefox did have insufficient validation in the Drag and Drop API. If a user were tricked into creating a shortcut to local system files, an attacker could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-37203)

Irvan Kurniawan discovered that Firefox did not properly manage fullscreen notifications using an option element having an expensive computational function. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to perform spoofing attacks. (CVE-2023-37204)

Ameen Basha M K discovered that Firefox did not properly validate symlinks in the FileSystem API. If a user were tricked into uploading a symlinked file to a malicious website, an attacker could obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-37206)

Puf discovered that Firefox did not properly provide warning when opening Diagcab files. If a user were tricked into opening a malicicous Diagcab file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-37208)
