An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2005-2265 exists.\n\nAffected product: Mozilla Firefox. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2265/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2265/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-2265","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2265/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-2265","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5pgg-4c5c-9j5p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla Firefox","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a browser crash or potentially execute arbitrary code by passing an object instead of a string to InstallVersion.compareTo.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"mozilla","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2005-07-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2005-07-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"9947","stars":null,"title":"Mozilla Suite/Firefox \u003c 1.0.5 - compareTo Code Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2005-07-13","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/browser/mozilla_compareto","stars":null,"title":"Mozilla Suite/Firefox compareTo() Code Execution"},{"date":"2010-09-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16306","stars":null,"title":"Mozilla Suite/Firefox - InstallVersion-\u003ecompareTo() Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2265","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mozilla:firefox","products":["mozilla:firefox","mozilla:mozilla"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":22,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2266"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2264"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-07-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Sandbox Escape","id":"CVE-2019-11708","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Multiple Products Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2010-3765","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2010-10-27"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2022-26486","kev_date_added":"2022-03-07","published":"2022-12-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2022-26485","kev_date_added":"2022-03-07","published":"2022-12-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2019-11707","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox And Thunderbird Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2020-6819","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-24"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox And Thunderbird Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2020-6820","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a browser crash or potentially execute arbitrary code by passing an object instead of a string to InstallVersion.compareTo.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2265/"}
