| Detailed Description |
The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 136.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the mfsa2025-19 advisory.
- Following the recent Chrome sandbox escape (CVE-2025-2783), various Firefox developers identified a similar pattern in our IPC code. A compromised child process could cause the parent process to return an unintentionally powerful handle, leading to a sandbox escape. The original vulnerability was being exploited in the wild. This only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected. (CVE-2025-2857)
