The FTP protocol implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.11 and 2.x before 2.0.0.3 allows remote attackers to force the client to connect to other servers, perform a proxied port scan, or obtain sensitive information by specifying an alternate server address in an FTP PASV response.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-1562 is an old Firefox FTP handling flaw. A malicious FTP server could make a vulnerable browser connect to a different address than expected, enabling indirect internal probing or information exposure. The practical risk is mainly legacy systems still running Firefox before 1.5.0.11 or 2.0.0.3. Exposure is likely limited to legacy desktops, kiosks, embedded systems, or frozen Linux distributions using vulnerable Firefox builds and allowing FTP URL handling. Modern supported Firefox deployments should not be exposed based on the fixed versions cited. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue, not an emergency unless vulnerable Firefox remains in production. Prioritize removing or updating old browser installations on managed systems, especially where users can browse untrusted FTP links. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox beyond 1.5.0.11 or 2.0.0.3, or install vendor backported packages.; Check Mozilla, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE, or platform vendor advisories for exact fixed package versions.; Remove unsupported Firefox builds from managed endpoints and golden images..
