Impact

Based on the description, it is inferred that a use‑after‑free bug in Mozilla Firefox’s JavaScript WebAssembly component allows an attacker to reference memory that has already been freed, potentially corrupting the execution flow of the browser. If triggered by malicious WebAssembly code embedded in a web page, the flaw can lead to arbitrary code execution or memory corruption, compromising the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the affected user’s system.

Affected Systems

Mozilla Firefox. All versions released before 150.0.3 are affected; the vulnerability was addressed in Firefox 150.0.3 and later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is not listed and EPSS is not available, so precise severity metrics are unknown. The vulnerability is not part of the CISA KEV catalog. However, based on the description, it is inferred that the nature of a use‑after‑free flaw typically implies a high risk of exploitation when an attacker can supply malicious WebAssembly payloads, necessitating urgent mitigation.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Firefox 150.0.3 or any newer release that contains the fix.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, block or disable WebAssembly on untrusted sites by configuring the browser’s policy settings or by enforcing stricter content‑security‑policy directives.
  • Continue to monitor Mozilla’s security advisories for further updates and apply any additional mitigations that may be recommended as part of future releases.
