When a user typed a URL in the address bar or the search bar and quickly hit the enter key, a website could sometimes capture

CVE-2020-26979 6.1 - Medium - January 07, 2021

When a user typed a URL in the address bar or the search bar and quickly hit the enter key, a website could sometimes capture that event and then redirect the user before navigation occurred to the desired, entered address. To construct a convincing spoof the attacker would have had to guess what the user was typing, perhaps by suggesting it. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 84.

Open Redirect

When DNS over HTTPS is in use, it intentionally filters RFC1918 and related IP ranges

CVE-2020-26961 6.5 - Medium - December 09, 2020

When DNS over HTTPS is in use, it intentionally filters RFC1918 and related IP ranges from the responses as these do not make sense coming from a DoH resolver. However when an IPv4 address was mapped through IPv6, these addresses were erroneously let through, leading to a potential DNS Rebinding attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 83, Firefox ESR < 78.5, and Thunderbird < 78.5.

Cross-origin iframes that contained a login form could have been recognized by the login autofill service, and populated

CVE-2020-26962 6.1 - Medium - December 09, 2020

CVE-2020-26965 6.5 - Medium - December 09, 2020

Some websites have a feature "Show Password" where clicking a button will change a password field into a textbook field, revealing the typed password. If, when using a software keyboard that remembers user input, a user typed their password and used that feature, the type of the password field was changed, resulting in a keyboard layout change and the possibility for the software keyboard to remember the typed password. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 83, Firefox ESR < 78.5, and Thunderbird < 78.5.

When performing EC scalar point multiplication, the wNAF point multiplication algorithm was used;

CVE-2020-6829 5.3 - Medium - October 28, 2020

Given an electro-magnetic trace of a few signature generations, the private key could have been computed. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80 and Firefox for Android < 80.

If a valid external protocol handler was referenced in an image tag, the resulting broken image size could be distinguished

CVE-2020-15680 5.3 - Medium - October 22, 2020

When a link to an external protocol was clicked, a prompt was presented that allowed the user to choose what application to open it in

CVE-2020-15682 6.5 - Medium - October 22, 2020

When a link to an external protocol was clicked, a prompt was presented that allowed the user to choose what application to open it in. An attacker could induce that prompt to be associated with an origin they didn't control, resulting in a spoofing attack. This was fixed by changing external protocol prompts to be tab-modal while also ensuring they could not be incorrectly associated with a different origin. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.

Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

If Firefox is installed to a user-writable directory, the Mozilla Maintenance Service would execute updater.exe

CVE-2020-15663 8.8 - High - October 01, 2020

If Firefox is installed to a user-writable directory, the Mozilla Maintenance Service would execute updater.exe from the install location with system privileges. Although the Mozilla Maintenance Service does ensure that updater.exe is signed by Mozilla, the version could have been rolled back to a previous version which would have allowed exploitation of an older bug and arbitrary code execution with System Privileges. *Note: This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 80, Thunderbird < 78.2, Thunderbird < 68.12, Firefox ESR < 68.12, and Firefox ESR < 78.2.
