NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream MozillaFirefox-translations-common package and not the MozillaFirefox-translations-common package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

Firefox normally asks for confirmation before asking the operating system to find an application to handle a scheme that the browser does not support. It did not ask before doing so for the Usenet-related schemes news: and snews:. Since most operating systems don't have a trusted newsreader installed by default, an unscrupulous program that the user downloaded could register itself as a handler. The website that served the application download could then launch that application at will. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 130, Firefox ESR < 128.2, and Firefox ESR < 115.15.
