#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
Mozilla developers and community
Impact

Description

The Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported potential vulnerabilities present in Firefox 101 and Firefox ESR 91.10. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
