CVSS v3.1
6.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 68
Description
The issue is related to unnecessary application permissions that provide additional remote troubleshooting access to the retired site input.mozilla.org, now redirecting to another site. This could serve as a potential vector for malicious attacks. The vulnerability is associated with errors in Firefox's permission settings, which could allow a remote attacker to access and compromise confidential data.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 68, update to version 68 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to remote troubleshooting features until the update is applied.
