A vulnerabilidade
CERT-FR advisory CERTFR-2026-AVI-1346 covers eight CVEs (CVE-2026-113399, 113400, 113401, 113470, 113866, 113867, 113868, 113869) in Mozilla Firefox, Firefox ESR and Thunderbird. It says some of them allow arbitrary code execution, breach of data confidentiality and denial of service. It does not map impacts to individual CVEs, so no single CVE can be called the most severe. It gives no CVSS scores, attack vectors or prerequisites. Affected: Firefox before 158.0.1, Firefox ESR before 115.43.1 and before 153.5.1, Thunderbird before 153.5.1 and before 158.0.1. Fixed in those versions or later, per Mozilla bulletins mfsa2026-111 to mfsa2026-115 of 20 October 2026.
Como funciona
The sources do not describe how any of these flaws work. The advisory only lists the possible outcomes (code execution, confidentiality breach, denial of service) and refers readers to the Mozilla bulletins for details. The affected component, the input that reaches it and the step where it fails are not stated, so no mechanism can be given here.
Por que é vulnerável
The articles do not state the root cause of any of the eight CVEs, why they went unnoticed, or what the fixes change. The Mozilla bulletins named in the advisory are the place to find that. The vendor did not specify a security-bypass impact.
Como foi descoberta
The articles do not say who found the flaws or how they were reported. CERT-FR says only that multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Mozilla products. Disclosure came through Mozilla's security bulletins mfsa2026-111 to mfsa2026-115 of 20 October 2026, and CERT-FR published its advisory on 21 October 2026. The advisory does not mention active exploitation, IOCs or attribution.
