Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 does not clearly associate a Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

Very old Firefox and Mozilla browser versions could show JavaScript dialogs without clearly identifying the page that created them. An attacker could make a fake trusted-site dialog and use it for phishing. Exposure is limited to systems still using Firefox before 1.0.5 or Mozilla before 1.7.9, including legacy Linux distribution packages covered by vendor advisories. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not shown as actively exploited, but affected browsers are obsolete and increase phishing risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Firefox and Mozilla versions to fixed vendor-supported releases.; Remove unsupported legacy browsers from managed systems.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Debian, Red Hat, SUSE, or Fedora where applicable..
