Mozilla · Thunderbird · CVE-2025-8036
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Thunderbird versions prior to 141
Thunderbird versions prior to 140.1
**Description**
Thunderbird cached Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) preflight responses across IP address changes, which allowed bypassing CORS protections with DNS rebinding. DNS rebinding is a security risk that occurs when a DNS server returns different IP addresses for the same domain name, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass security restrictions.
**Recommendations**
Update Thunderbird to version 141 or later.
Update Thunderbird to version 140.1 or later.
