It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-1942 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-2012-1942/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1942/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-1942","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1942/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-1942","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vvhf-jjrh-q898"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla Firefox","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by loading a malicious DLL into the privileged Mozilla Updater service on Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"seamonkey","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The Mozilla Updater and Windows Updater Service in Mozilla Firefox 12.0, Thunderbird 12.0, and SeaMonkey 2.9 on Windows allow local users to gain privileges by loading a DLL file in a privileged context.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1942","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mozilla:firefox","products":["mozilla:firefox","mozilla:seamonkey","mozilla:thunderbird"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1943"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1941"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-06-05","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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by loading a malicious DLL into the privileged Mozilla Updater service on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1942/"}
