AI Analysis

Impact

Uninitialized memory in the Storage: Quota Manager component may allow a malicious agent to read data that has not been properly initialized by the browser. This flaw can expose sensitive information, such as credentials or personal data, that are not intended to be visible to the browser process.

Affected Systems

Mozilla products such as Firefox and Thunderbird are affected when they run versions older than Firefox ESR 153.4, ESR 140.17, ESR 115.42, or the 157 release, and Thunderbird versions older than 157, 140.17, or 153.4. All releases that have not applied these specific patches remain at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1 % and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating that exploitation attempts are likely rare and that the public danger is modest. The CVSS score of 8.1 denotes high severity. The attack vector is not explicitly declared in the description, but it is inferred that an attacker would need either local access or the ability to deliver crafted web content that activates quota management logic. Because the flaw relies on a particular memory state, brute‑force exploitation would be difficult. Even so, the potential impact of leaking internal data warrants a moderate risk assessment until the vendor issues a patch.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Firefox to a supported release such as ESR 153.4, ESR 140.17, ESR 115.42, or the 157 build, and upgrade Thunderbird to version 157, 140.17, or 153.4 as applicable.
  • If you cannot patch immediately, disable the Storage Quota Manager feature through the browser configuration settings in both Firefox and Thunderbird to reduce exposure.
  • Observe browser memory usage and storage events for anomalies that could indicate an exploitation attempt.
