The Mozilla Maintenance Service in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 on Windows does not properly handle inability to launch the Mozilla Updater executable file, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving placement of a Trojan horse executable file at an arbitrary location.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Windows-only Firefox issue in the Mozilla Maintenance Service. If a machine runs Firefox before 22.0, a local user could potentially gain higher privileges by abusing how the service handled updater launch failures. Exposure is most likely limited to Windows endpoints still running Mozilla Firefox before version 22.0 with the Mozilla Maintenance Service present. Modern supported Firefox deployments are unlikely to be affected, but legacy images, kiosks, or unmanaged systems should be checked. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize any remaining vulnerable systems because local privilege escalation can turn a limited compromise into administrative control on affected Windows hosts. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Windows Firefox installations to version 22.0 or later.; Retire unsupported legacy Firefox builds from managed Windows endpoints.; Review Mozilla MFSA 2013-62 before relying on compensating controls..
