#CVE-2022-34479: A popup window could be resized in a way to overlay the address bar with web content

Reporter
Irvan Kurniawan

This bug only affects Firefox for Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2022-34482: Drag and drop of malicious image could have led to malicious executable and potential code execution

Reporter
Attila Suszter
Impact
moderate
Description

An attacker who could have convinced a user to drag and drop an image to a filesystem could have manipulated the resulting filename to contain an executable extension, and by extension potentially tricked the user into executing malicious code. While very similar, this is a separate issue from CVE-2022-34483.

#CVE-2022-34474: Sandboxed iframes could redirect to external schemes

Reporter

moderate
Description

Even when an iframe was sandboxed with allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation, if it received a redirect header to an external protocol the browser would process the redirect and prompt the user as appropriate.

#CVE-2022-34469: TLS certificate errors on HSTS-protected domains could be bypassed by the user on Firefox for Android

Reporter
Peter Gerber
Impact
moderate
Description

When a TLS Certificate error occurs on a domain protected by the HSTS header, the browser should not allow the user to bypass the certificate error. On Firefox for Android, the user was presented with the option to bypass the error; this could only have been done by the user explicitly.
This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2022-34471: Compromised server could trick a browser into an addon downgrade

Reporter

Impact
moderate
Description

When downloading an update for an addon, the downloaded addon update's version was not verified to match the version selected from the manifest. If the manifest had been tampered with on the server, an attacker could trick the browser into downgrading the addon to a prior version.

#CVE-2022-34478: Microsoft protocols can be attacked if a user accepts a prompt

Reporter
Gijs
Impact
moderate
Description

The ms-msdt, search, and search-ms protocols deliver content to Microsoft applications, bypassing the browser, when a user accepts a prompt. These applications have had known vulnerabilities, exploited in the wild (although we know of none exploited through Firefox), so in this release Firefox has blocked these protocols from prompting the user to open them.
This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.

Reporter

#CVE-2022-34475: HTML Sanitizer could have been bypassed via same-origin script via use tags

Reporter
Gareth Heyes
Impact
low
Description

SVG <use> tags that referenced a same-origin document could have resulted in script execution if attacker input was sanitized via the HTML Sanitizer API. This would have required the attacker to reference a same-origin JavaScript file containing the script to be executed.
