Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 115

Description The issue is related to incorrect handling of symbolic links before accessing a file, potentially allowing a remote attacker to gain access to confidential data. Uploading files containing symlinks may trick a user into submitting sensitive data to a malicious website.

Recommendations For versions prior to 115, update to version 115 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting file uploads or disabling the feature that handles symlinks to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the file upload feature in the affected versions until the issue is resolved.
