Privilege escalation vulnerability with Mozilla Maintenance Service in custom Firefox installation location - CVE-2019-11753ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:58335 | Date: (C)2019-10-11 (M)2024-04-17 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
Mozilla Firefox 69, Mozilla Firefox ESR 68.1 : The Firefox installer allows Firefox to be installed to a custom user writable location, leaving it unprotected from manipulation by unprivileged users or malware. If the Mozilla Maintenance Service is manipulated to update this unprotected location and the updated maintenance service in the unprotected location has been altered, the altered maintenance service can run with elevated privileges during the update process due to a lack of integrity checks. This allows for privilege escalation if the executable has been replaced locally.
