Exploitability

CWE

KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-416 The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-125 The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
CWE-787 The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-8092 is a security vulnerability in certain versions of Firefox (ESR 115.35.1, ESR 140.10.1, and 150.0.1) involving memory safety bugs.

These bugs can cause memory corruption, which means the program might behave unpredictably or incorrectly due to improper handling of memory.

Mozilla presumes that with enough effort, attackers could exploit these bugs to run arbitrary code on the affected systems.

The vulnerability was fixed in later versions: Firefox ESR 115.35.2, ESR 140.10.2, and Firefox 150.0.2.

Compliance Impact

The provided information does not specify how CVE-2026-8092 affects compliance with common standards and regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system if you are using an affected version of Firefox.

Exploiting memory corruption bugs can lead to unauthorized control over the affected device, potentially compromising your data and system integrity.

Using a fixed version of Firefox (115.35.2, 140.10.2, or 150.0.2 and later) mitigates this risk.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update Firefox to a fixed version.

  • Upgrade Firefox ESR to version 115.35.2 or later.
  • Upgrade Firefox ESR to version 140.10.2 or later.
  • Upgrade Firefox to version 150.0.2 or later.
