CVE-2007-5045: Argument injection vulnerability in Apple QuickTime 7.1.5 and earlier, when running on systems with Mozilla...

Argument injection vulnerability in Apple QuickTime 7.1.5 and earlier, when running on systems with Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.7 installed, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a QuickTime Media Link (QTL) file with an embed XML element and a qtnext parameter containing the Firefox "-chrome" argument. NOTE: this is a related issue to CVE-2006-4965 and the result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3670.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy client-side issue where a malicious QuickTime Media Link file could make Firefox pass dangerous startup arguments, leading to arbitrary command execution. It matters mainly where very old Apple QuickTime and Firefox installations still exist, such as unmanaged endpoints, kiosks, lab systems, or archived virtual machines. Exposure is most plausible on obsolete desktops running QuickTime 7.1.5 or earlier with Firefox before 2.0.0.7 installed. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless legacy software, old VM images, or unsupported kiosk builds remain in use. Prioritize this when legacy desktop software exists in business-critical or internet-facing user workflows. For modern fleets, this is mainly a hygiene and legacy-retirement issue. The business risk is high on exposed obsolete endpoints because successful exploitation could run commands as the user. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 2.0.0.7 or later where this legacy stack remains.; Remove or update unsupported QuickTime installations following vendor guidance.; Disable QuickTime/QTL browser handling where legacy removal is not immediately possible..
