CVE-2003-0791
The Script.prototype.freeze/thaw functionality in Mozilla 1.4 and earlier allows attackers to execute native methods by modifying the string used as input to the script.thaw JavaScript function, which is then deserialized and executed.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
