EPSS
Percentile
85.7%
firefox is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as it was found that the home page could be set to a “javascript:” link. If a user were tricked into setting such a home page by dragging a link to the home button, it could cause Firefox to repeatedly crash, eventually leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
