Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Mozilla product
    Check if Firefox or Thunderbird is installed by looking for the application in typical installation paths or running 'firefox --version' or 'thunderbird --version' in command line
    Affected if Either Firefox or Thunderbird is installed
  2. Determine Firefox version
    Run 'firefox --version' or navigate to 'about:firefox' in the browser address bar to view the installed version number
    Affected if Firefox version is below 140.10.0 or between 140.10.0 and 149.x (less than 150.0)
  3. Determine Firefox ESR version
    Run 'firefox --version' and check if it indicates ESR, or navigate to 'about:firefox' to view version details including ESR designation
    Affected if Firefox ESR version is below 140.10.0
  4. Determine Thunderbird version
    Run 'thunderbird --version' or navigate to 'about:thunderbird' in the application to view the installed version number
    Affected if Thunderbird version is below 140.10.0

You are affected if you have Firefox (any channel) below 140.10.0 or below 150.0, Firefox ESR below 140.10.0, or Thunderbird below 140.10.0, and WebRTC feature is enabled (which is the default state in these products).
