CVE-2023-4052
Published: Aug 1, 2023
Modified: Oct 22, 2024
Description
The Firefox updater created a directory writable by non-privileged users. When uninstalling Firefox, any files in that directory would be recursively deleted with the permissions of the uninstalling user account. This could be combined with creation of a junction (a form of symbolic link) to allow arbitrary file deletion controlled by the non-privileged user. *This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 115.1, and Thunderbird < 115.1.
| Vendor | Product | Versions |
|---|---|---|
Mozilla | Firefox | affected unspecified - < 116 |
Mozilla | Firefox ESR | affected unspecified - < 115.1 |
Mozilla | Thunderbird | affected unspecified - < 115.1 |
