An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2007-4038 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2007-4038/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4038/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-4038","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4038/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-4038","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3r6g-vgfw-328v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Mozilla Firefox","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in mailto URIs when Firefox invokes Thunderbird, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Argument injection vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.5, when running on systems with Thunderbird 1.5 installed and certain URIs registered, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-browser scripting attacks and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a mailto URI, which are inserted into the command line that is created when invoking Thunderbird.exe, a similar issue to CVE-2007-3670.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4038","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mozilla:firefox","products":["mozilla:firefox","mozilla:thunderbird"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4039"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4037"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-07-27","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in mailto URIs when Firefox invokes Thunderbird, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-4038/"}
