CVE-2022-22756
CVSS v3.1
9.6
Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 97
Thunderbird versions prior to 91.6
Firefox ESR versions prior to 91.6
Description
The issue is related to the drag and drop function of images in the browser, which can be exploited to run arbitrary code. If a user is convinced to drag and drop an image to their desktop or other folder, the resulting object could be changed into an executable script. This would allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code after the user clicks on it.
Recommendations
For Firefox versions prior to 97, update to version 97 or later to resolve the issue.
For Thunderbird versions prior to 91.6, update to version 91.6 or later to resolve the issue.
For Firefox ESR versions prior to 91.6, update to version 91.6 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the drag and drop of images to the desktop or other folders until a patch is available.
