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-2023-23598 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-2023-23598/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23598/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23598","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23598/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23598","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-23598","GHSA-h2qp-p99q-hmrr","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-23598"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Firefox browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A website can arbitrarily read local files via a drag-and-drop vulnerability in Firefox on Linux systems.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mozilla","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"firefox_esr","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Due to the Firefox GTK wrapper code's use of text/plain for drag data and GTK treating all text/plain MIMEs containing file URLs as being dragged a website could arbitrarily read a file via a call to `DataTransfer.setData`.
