> Multiple vulnerabilities in Firefox and Firefox ESR allow remote code execution, privilege escalation, and denial of service.

CERT-FR has published an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities affecting Mozilla Firefox and Firefox ESR. The affected versions include Firefox versions prior to 153, Firefox ESR versions prior to 115.38, and Firefox ESR versions prior to 140.13. These vulnerabilities enable attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, escalate privileges, cause denial of service, bypass security policies, and compromise data confidentiality. The advisory references three Mozilla security bulletins (mfsa2026-68, mfsa2026-69, mfsa2026-70) published on 21 July 2026 and lists 65 distinct CVE identifiers documenting specific flaws across the affected products. Defenders should apply updates to affected Firefox and Firefox ESR installations immediately, as the vulnerability set includes high-impact remote code execution issues.

## Detection guidance (public sample)

### Firefox Spawning Command Shell or Scripting Interpreter

ATT&CK: T1203

Firefox or Firefox ESR spawning a shell, scripting host or LOLBin child process, a common post-exploitation sign of a browser RCE or sandbox escape. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.

```yaml
title: Firefox Spawning Command Shell or Scripting Interpreter
description: Detects firefox.exe starting a command shell, scripting host or common
  living-off-the-land binary. Normal Firefox browsing does not launch these, so this
  pattern is a behavioural indicator of client-side exploitation (memory corruption
  RCE or sandbox escape) rather than a specific CVE or payload. The advisory describes
  no concrete post-exploitation behaviour, so this is a generic exploitation-consequence
  detection.
