On Windows 10, when using the 'Save As' functionality, an attacker could have tricked the browser into saving the file with a disallowed extension such as `.url` by including an invalid character in the extension. *Note:* This issue only affected Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 127, Firefox ESR < 115.12, and Thunderbird < 115.12.

  - Memory corruption in the networking stack could have led to a potentially exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2024-5702)

  - If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during     object transplant. (CVE-2024-5688)

  - By monitoring the time certain operations take, an attacker could have guessed which external protocol     handlers were functional on a user's system. (CVE-2024-5690)

  - By tricking the browser with a <code>X-Frame-Options</code> header, a sandboxed iframe could have     presented a button that, if clicked by a user, would bypass restrictions to open a new window.

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 127.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2024-25 advisory.

  - If a specific sequence of actions is performed when opening a new tab, the triggering principal associated     with the new tab may have been incorrect. The triggering principal is used to calculate many values,     including the <code>Referer</code> and <code>Sec-</code> headers, meaning there is the potential for     incorrect security checks within the browser in addition to incorrect or misleading information sent to     remote websites. This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other versions of Firefox are unaffected.
    (CVE-2024-5687)

  - If a garbage collection was triggered at the right time, a use-after-free could have occurred during     object transplant. (CVE-2024-5688)

  - In addition to detecting when a user was taking a screenshot (XXX), a website was able to overlay the 'My     Shots' button that appeared, and direct the user to a replica Firefox Screenshots page that could be used     for phishing. (CVE-2024-5689)

  - By manipulating the fullscreen feature while opening a data-list, an attacker could have overlaid a text     box over the address bar. This could have led to user confusion and possible spoofing attacks.
    (CVE-2024-5698)

  - In violation of spec, cookie prefixes such as <code>Secure</code> were being ignored if they were not     correctly capitalized - by spec they should be checked with a case-insensitive comparison.
