High CVSS 8.8

CVE-2026-74935

Mozilla Firefox

Privilege escalation in the DOM: Networking component. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 154, Firefox ESR 115.39, Firefox ESR 140.14, Firefox ESR 153.1, Thunderbird 154, Thunderbird 140.14, and Thunderbird 153.1.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Privilege handling is faulty, so an account ends up with more rights than intended.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
