CVE-2025-0237
This could have led to privilege escalation attacks.
MEDIUM 5.4EPSS 0.61%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The WebChannel API, which is used to transport various information across processes, did not check the sending principal but rather accepted the principal being sent. This could have led to privilege escalation attacks. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 134, Firefox ESR 128.6, Thunderbird 134, and Thunderbird 128.6.
