This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.66%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When creating a callback over IPC for showing the File Picker window, multiple of the same callbacks could have been created at a time and eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR < 102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
