CVE-2026-16400Network attack vector

Remote information disclosure through undisclosed DOM flaw

Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026

Information disclosure in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 153 allows remote attackers to read unspecified sensitive data through DOM Security. The underlying DOM Security operation and the data exposed remain undisclosed because the referenced security bug is access-restricted. Thunderbird is exposed only in browser or browser-like contexts because scripting is disabled when reading mail; Firefox has no published additional gate.
