Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox versions prior to 1.0.5 Mozilla versions prior to 1.7.9 Netscape versions 7.2 and 8.0.2

Description: The issue concerns the browser user interface, which fails to properly distinguish between user-generated events and untrusted synthetic events. This makes it easier for remote attackers to perform actions that are normally restricted to manual user input.

Recommendations: For Firefox versions prior to 1.0.5, update to version 1.0.5 or later. For Mozilla versions prior to 1.7.9, update to version 1.7.9 or later. For Netscape versions 7.2 and 8.0.2, consider applying available patches or updates, or restricting access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
