CVE-2026-6786Network attack vector

Code execution via memory corruption

Published Apr 21, 2026 · Updated Apr 21, 2026

Memory-safety defects in Firefox 149, Firefox ESR 140.9, Thunderbird 149, and Thunderbird ESR 140.9 allow remote attackers to execute code. The public record groups numerous defects and identifies out-of-bounds reads, out-of-bounds writes, and use-after-free conditions, but it does not disclose the individual code loci or erroneous operations. Exploitation requires user interaction and high-complexity content processing, and grants arbitrary code execution in the affected application context.
