CVE-2004-1381
Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 allow inactive (background) tabs to focus on input being entered in the active tab, as originally reported using form fields, which allows remote attackers to steal sensitive data that is intended for other sites, which could facilitate phishing attacks.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 6.88%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
- Score date: 10/14/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
