CVE-2006-0297
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.1)—
Multiple integer overflows in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 if Javascript is enabled in mail, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) EscapeAttributeValue in jsxml.c for E4X, (2) nsSVGCairoSurface::Init in SVG, and (3) nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp in Canvas.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 5.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.94%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 90
- Score date: 10/8/2026
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).
