#CVE-2022-34479: A popup window could be resized in a way to overlay the address bar with web content
- Reporter
- Irvan Kurniawan

#CVE-2022-34482: Drag and drop of malicious image could have led to malicious executable and potential code execution
- Reporter
- Attila Suszter
- Impact
- moderate
Description
An attacker who could have convinced a user to drag and drop an image to a filesystem could have manipulated the resulting filename to contain an executable extension, and by extension potentially tricked the user into executing malicious code. While very similar, this is a separate issue from CVE-2022-34483.

- Reporter

Description
Even when an iframe was sandboxed with allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation, if it received a redirect header to an external protocol the browser would process the redirect and prompt the user as appropriate.

#CVE-2022-34469: TLS certificate errors on HSTS-protected domains could be bypassed by the user on Firefox for Android
- Reporter
- Peter Gerber
- Impact
- moderate
Description
When a TLS Certificate error occurs on a domain protected by the HSTS header, the browser should not allow the user to bypass the certificate error. On Firefox for Android, the user was presented with the option to bypass the error; this could only have been done by the user explicitly.
This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2022-34471: Compromised server could trick a browser into an addon downgrade
- Reporter
- Rob Wu
- Impact
- moderate
Description
When downloading an update for an addon, the downloaded addon update's version was not verified to match the version selected from the manifest. If the manifest had been tampered with on the server, an attacker could trick the browser into downgrading the addon to a prior version.

Description

#CVE-2022-34478: Microsoft protocols can be attacked if a user accepts a prompt
- Reporter
- Gijs
- Impact
- moderate
Description
The ms-msdt, search, and search-ms protocols deliver content to Microsoft applications, bypassing the browser, when a user accepts a prompt. These applications have had known vulnerabilities, exploited in the wild (although we know of none exploited through Firefox), so in this release Firefox has blocked these protocols from prompting the user to open them.
This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.

- Reporter
- Manfred Paul via Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative
- Impact
- moderate
Description

#CVE-2022-34475: HTML Sanitizer could have been bypassed via same-origin script via use tags
- Reporter
- Gareth Heyes
- Impact
- low
Description
SVG <use> tags that referenced a same-origin document could have resulted in script execution if attacker input was sanitized via the HTML Sanitizer API. This would have required the attacker to reference a same-origin JavaScript file containing the script to be executed.

- Reporter
- Mozilla developers and community
- Impact
- high
Description
The Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported potential vulnerabilities present in Firefox 101 and Firefox ESR 91.10. Some of these bugs showed evidence of JavaScript prototype or memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
