The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.10 through 3.5.11, 3.6.4 through 3.6.8, and 4.0 Beta1 uses a random number generator that is seeded only once per document object, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value, related to a "temporary footprint" and an "in-session phishing attack." NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-5913.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Firefox issue made browser-generated random numbers predictable within a document. That could help a remote site track a user during a session or make a spoofed pop-up more believable. The sources do not indicate code execution, active exploitation, or impact on current Firefox versions. Exposure appears limited to very old Firefox versions named in the CVE description. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, and no evidence in the bundle extends exposure to supported modern browsers. Treat this as a legacy browser hygiene issue. It is not shown as actively exploited, but affected browsers are obsolete and can support user tracking or phishing. Prioritize removal if any regulated or high-risk users still run these builds. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the affected Firefox versions named in the CVE.; Remove or upgrade unsupported Firefox builds from managed systems.; Check Mozilla guidance or Bugzilla for the authoritative fixed version..
