CVE-2026-2804Network attack vector

Data reading or modification via WebAssembly use-after-free

Published Feb 24, 2026 · Updated Feb 24, 2026

WebAssembly use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 148 allows remote attackers to read or alter data via unspecified vectors. Mozilla has not published the object lifetime error or triggering WebAssembly operation because the referenced bug remains access-restricted. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, and the published assessment limits the consequence to low confidentiality and integrity impact.
