Untrusted search path vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.12 and 3.6.x before 3.6.9, Thunderbird before 3.0.7 and 3.1.x before 3.1.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.7 on Windows XP allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll that is located in the same folder as a .htm, .html, .jtx, .mfp, or .eml file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey on Windows XP could load a malicious DLL from the same folder as certain web or email files. If a user opened one of those files from an attacker-controlled folder, code could run under that user’s account. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Windows XP systems running the listed unsupported Mozilla versions. Modern systems or updated Mozilla products are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Treat as a legacy-risk cleanup item unless affected systems are still operational. Prioritize quickly if Windows XP or old Mozilla clients handle email, downloads, shared folders, or external files. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mozilla products beyond the fixed versions named in the CVE.; Remove unsupported Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and Windows XP from production environments.; Restrict opening web or email files from untrusted shared folders or archives..
