Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 138, Thunderbird 138, Firefox ESR 128.10, and Thunderbird 128.10

CVE-2025-5268 - May 27, 2025

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 138, Thunderbird 138, Firefox ESR 128.10, and Thunderbird 128.10. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 139, Firefox ESR < 128.11, Thunderbird < 139, and Thunderbird < 128.11.

Memory safety bug present in Firefox ESR 128.10, and Thunderbird 128.10

CVE-2025-5269 - May 27, 2025

Memory safety bug present in Firefox ESR 128.10, and Thunderbird 128.10. This bug showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 128.11 and Thunderbird < 128.11.

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 138 and Thunderbird 138

CVE-2025-5272 - May 27, 2025

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 138 and Thunderbird 138. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 139 and Thunderbird < 139.

An attacker was able to perform an out-of-bounds read or write on a JavaScript `Promise` object

CVE-2025-4918 - May 17, 2025

An attacker was able to perform an out-of-bounds read or write on a JavaScript `Promise` object. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 138.0.4, Firefox ESR < 128.10.1, Firefox ESR < 115.23.1, Thunderbird < 128.10.2, and Thunderbird < 138.0.2.

An attacker was able to perform an out-of-bounds read or write on a JavaScript object by confusing array index sizes

CVE-2025-4919 - May 17, 2025

An attacker was able to perform an out-of-bounds read or write on a JavaScript object by confusing array index sizes. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 138.0.4, Firefox ESR < 128.10.1, Firefox ESR < 115.23.1, Thunderbird < 128.10.2, and Thunderbird < 138.0.2.

Thunderbird parses addresses in a way that can allow sender spoofing in case the server allows an invalid From address to be used

CVE-2025-3875 - May 14, 2025

Thunderbird parses addresses in a way that can allow sender spoofing in case the server allows an invalid From address to be used. For example, if the From header contains an (invalid) value "Spoofed Name ", Thunderbird treats spoofed@example.com as the actual address. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 128.10.1 and Thunderbird < 138.0.1.

Thunderbird's handling of the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header can be exploited to execute JavaScript in the file:/// context

CVE-2025-3909 - May 14, 2025

Thunderbird's handling of the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header can be exploited to execute JavaScript in the file:/// context. By crafting a nested email attachment (message/rfc822) and setting its content type to application/pdf, Thunderbird may incorrectly render it as HTML when opened, allowing the embedded JavaScript to run without requiring a file download. This behavior relies on Thunderbird auto-saving the attachment to /tmp and linking to it via the file:/// protocol, potentially enabling JavaScript execution as part of the HTML. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 128.10.1 and Thunderbird < 138.0.1.

It was possible to craft an email that showed a tracking link as an attachment

CVE-2025-3932 - May 14, 2025

It was possible to craft an email that showed a tracking link as an attachment. If the user attempted to open the attachment, Thunderbird automatically accessed the link. The configuration to block remote content did not prevent that. Thunderbird has been fixed to no longer allow access to web pages listed in the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header of an email. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 128.10.1 and Thunderbird < 138.0.1.

Thunderbird's update mechanism

CVE-2025-2817 - April 29, 2025

Thunderbird's update mechanism allowed a medium-integrity user process to interfere with the SYSTEM-level updater by manipulating the file-locking behavior. By injecting code into the user-privileged process, an attacker could bypass intended access controls, allowing SYSTEM-level file operations on paths controlled by a non-privileged user and enabling privilege escalation. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 138, Firefox ESR < 128.10, Firefox ESR < 115.23, Thunderbird < 138, and Thunderbird < 128.10.

Modification of specific WebGL shader attributes could trigger an out-of-bounds read

This vulnerability affects Firefox < 138, Firefox ESR < 128.10, Firefox ESR < 115.23, Thunderbird < 138, and Thunderbird < 128.10.

Due to insufficient escaping of the special characters in the "copy as cURL" feature

CVE-2025-4084 - April 29, 2025

Due to insufficient escaping of the special characters in the "copy as cURL" feature, an attacker could trick a user into using this command, potentially leading to local code execution on the user's system. *This bug only affects Firefox for Windows. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 128.10, Firefox ESR < 115.23, and Thunderbird < 128.10.

Due to insufficient escaping of special characters in the "copy as cURL" feature

CVE-2025-4089 - April 29, 2025

By crafting a malformed file name for an attachment in a multipart message, an attacker

CVE-2025-2830 - April 15, 2025

By crafting a malformed file name for an attachment in a multipart message, an attacker can trick Thunderbird into including a directory listing of /tmp when the message is forwarded or edited as a new message. This vulnerability could allow attackers to disclose sensitive information from the victim's system. This vulnerability is not limited to Linux; similar behavior has been observed on Windows as well. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 137.0.2 and Thunderbird < 128.9.2.

Thunderbird processes the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header to handle attachments which can be hosted externally

CVE-2025-3522 - April 15, 2025

Thunderbird processes the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header to handle attachments which can be hosted externally. When an email is opened, Thunderbird accesses the specified URL to determine file size, and navigates to it when the user clicks the attachment. Because the URL is not validated or sanitized, it can reference internal resources like chrome:// or SMB share file:// links, potentially leading to hashed Windows credential leakage and opening the door to more serious security issues. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 137.0.2 and Thunderbird < 128.9.2.

When an email contains multiple attachments with external links

CVE-2025-3523 - April 15, 2025

When an email contains multiple attachments with external links via the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL header, only the last link is shown when hovering over any attachment. Although the correct link is used on click, the misleading hover text could trick users into downloading content from untrusted sources. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 137.0.2 and Thunderbird < 128.9.2.

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 136 and Thunderbird 136

CVE-2025-3034 - April 01, 2025

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 136 and Thunderbird 136. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 137 and Thunderbird < 137.
