firefox is vulnerable to Type Confusion. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or opening a malicious file. The website or file would contain a specially crafted exploit that would cause Firefox to confuse types, which could then be used to execute arbitrary code on the user’s system.
