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-2023-5722, CVE-2023-5724, CVE-2023-5728, CVE-2023-5729, CVE-2023-5730, CVE-2023-5731)

Kelsey Gilbert discovered that Firefox did not properly manage certain browser prompts and dialogs due to an insufficient activation-delay. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to perform clickjacking. (CVE-2023-5721)

Daniel Veditz discovered that Firefox did not properly validate a cookie containing invalid characters. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-5723)

Shaheen Fazim discovered that Firefox did not properly validate the URLs open by installed WebExtension. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-5725)
