| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 50
Description
The issue is related to the sandbox for 64-bit NPAPI plugins not being enabled by default when a new Firefox profile is created on 64-bit Windows installations. This can allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. The issue only affects 64-bit Windows installations, while 32-bit Windows and other operating systems are unaffected.
Recommendations
For Firefox versions prior to 50, update to version 50 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider enabling the sandbox for 64-bit NPAPI plugins manually until a patch is applied.
