CVE-2026-2803Network attack vector

Unauthenticated sensitive data disclosure

Published Feb 24, 2026 · Updated Feb 24, 2026

Information disclosure in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 148 allows remote attackers to read sensitive data through the Settings UI. Mozilla has not published the affected Settings UI locus or the operation that exposes data or bypasses the intended protection. Network reachability without authentication is sufficient; the reported consequence is data disclosure, with no integrity or availability impact.
