Mozilla Firefox 2.0, possibly only when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to bypass the Phishing Protection mechanism by representing an IP address in (1) dotted-hex, (2) dotted-octal, (3) single decimal integer, (4) single hex integer, or (5) single octal integer format, which is not captured by the blacklist filter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Firefox 2.0 could fail to recognize some phishing sites when the site address was written in unusual numeric IP formats. This weakened the browser’s phishing blacklist protection rather than allowing direct system compromise. The available sources do not provide CVSS, confirmed patch details, or evidence of active exploitation. Current enterprise exposure should be limited to obsolete Firefox 2.0 installations, especially on Windows. Exposure is unlikely in supported browsers, but the source bundle does not define exact affected builds or fixed versions. Treat this as a legacy-technology cleanup issue unless Firefox 2.0 is still present. If found, prioritize removal because phishing protection bypasses increase user deception risk and obsolete browsers carry broader unquantified risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Firefox 2.0, especially Windows systems.; Remove or upgrade obsolete Firefox installations to supported browsers.; Check Mozilla Bugzilla and vendor guidance for historical fix details..
