Argument injection vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to modify command line arguments to an invoked mail client via " (double quote) characters in a mailto: scheme handler, as demonstrated by launching Microsoft Outlook with an arbitrary filename as an attachment. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue is implementation-specific or a problem in the Microsoft API.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-2057 describes a legacy browser-to-email handoff issue. A malicious mailto link could alter command-line arguments sent to a local mail client, with Outlook shown accepting an arbitrary attachment filename. It required user interaction and affects very old software; the source bundle does not provide a CVSS score, patch, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is most plausible on unmanaged legacy Windows desktops using Firefox 1.0.6 with Outlook or Office 2003 as the mailto handler. Modern managed endpoints are unlikely exposed unless obsolete browser and mail-client combinations remain installed. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue, not an emergency. Prioritize if regulated, kiosk, lab, or long-lived desktop environments still run obsolete Firefox or Office-era software. Mitigation focus: Check Mozilla and Microsoft vendor guidance for historical fixes or configuration advice.; Remove or upgrade Firefox 1.0.6 and Office 2003-era mail clients where found.; Review mailto protocol-handler settings on legacy Windows systems..
