CVE-2006-4569

Status: ModifiedLow (2.6)—
The popup blocker in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.7 opens the "blocked popups" display in the context of the Location bar instead of the subframe from which the popup originated, which might make it easier for remote user-assisted attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 2.6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.31%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 83
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).
