The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform clickjacking attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the popup notifications' interaction with WebAuthn. A remote attacker can trick the victim into granting permissions to a malicious web application.
3) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4769)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to browser issues different error messages for application/javascript responses and non-script responses when importing resources using Web Workers. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website and learn information cross-origin
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4771)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
5) Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4772)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication.
The vulnerability exists due to Firefox uses an insecure rand() function to generate nonce for HTTP digest authentication. A remote attacker can guess nonce and potentially gain unauthorized access to the victim's session.
6) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4773)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
