The host is missing a critical security update according to the Mozilla advisory MFSA2024-16 and is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to properly handle issues related to event handler. On successful exploitation, an attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object that would allow arbitrary JavaScript execution in the parent process.
