Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 may allow remote attackers to trick users into performing unexpected actions, including installing software, via signed scripts that request enhanced abilities using the enablePrivilege parameter, then modify the meaning of certain security-relevant dialog messages.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Mozilla UI-trust vulnerability. A malicious signed script could request extra privileges and then change security-relevant dialog wording, potentially tricking a user into approving unexpected actions such as software installation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy systems still running the named Mozilla, Firefox, or Thunderbird versions. Modern deployments are unlikely to be affected unless obsolete browser or mail clients remain installed. Treat this as a legacy cleanup risk. It is serious where affected software still exists, but urgency depends on whether obsolete Mozilla products remain in the environment. Mitigation focus: Upgrade or remove Mozilla Firefox versions before the Preview Release.; Upgrade or remove Mozilla before 1.7.3.; Upgrade or remove Thunderbird before 0.8..
