Impact: Cross‑site data disclosure via broken DOM site isolation
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability was found in browsers that do not properly isolate the Document Object Model (DOM) for navigation. The navigation component can be abused to read or modify the DOM of a different origin, enabling an attacker to obtain confidential data or alter the content of other sites. The flaw is an access‑control weakness that breaks cross‑origin isolation.

Affected Systems

Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird are affected. Any release prior to Firefox 155, Firefox ESR 153.2, Thunderbird 155, or Thunderbird ESR 153.2 is vulnerable; these older versions fail to enforce complete DOM isolation between sites.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 9.8, this vulnerability is considered critical. The EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker who can lure a user to a malicious site might read or manipulate another site's DOM, possibly leaking data. The cross‑origin nature of the attack raises the potential impact, but the lack of available exploitation tools reduces immediate threat.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Firefox to version 155 or newer, or to Firefox ESR 153.2 or newer.
  • Upgrade Thunderbird to version 155 or newer, or to Thunderbird ESR 153.2 or newer.
  • Keep the browser updated and regularly review Mozilla security advisories to stay protected against future isolation flaws.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider isolating browsing of untrusted sites in a separate profile or sandboxed environment to limit potential DOM navigation attacks.
