CERT-FR issued an advisory regarding a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox affecting versions prior to 159.0.1. The specific risk and technical details were not disclosed by Mozilla in the referenced bulletin (mfsa2026-123), though the issue is tracked as CVE-2026-120572. No information was provided on whether the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
Defenders should update affected Firefox installations to version 159.0.1 or later as soon as possible, following guidance from Mozilla's official security advisory. As the vendor has not specified the nature of the risk (e.g., RCE, memory corruption, sandbox escape), organizations should treat this as a standard browser security patch and prioritize deployment according to their patch management policies for widely used client software.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
