CVE-2018-18496
CVSS v3.1
8.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Firefox versions prior to 64
Description:
The issue is related to insufficient input validation, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain access to confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. Additionally, when the RSS Feed preview about:feeds page is framed within another page, it can be used in concert with scripted content for a clickjacking attack that confuses users into downloading and executing an executable file from a temporary directory. This issue only affects Windows operating systems.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 64, update to version 64 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the RSS Feed preview feature in framed pages to minimize the risk of clickjacking attacks.
