CVE-2013-1727

Status: ModifiedMedium (4)—💥 Exploit

Mozilla Firefox before 24.0 on Android allows attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy, and consequently conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain password or cookie information, by using a symlink in conjunction with a file: URL for a local file.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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.
