CVE-2025-9179
An attacker was able to perform memory corruption in the GMP process which processes encrypted media. This process is also heavily sandboxed, but represents slightly different privileges from the content process. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 142, Firefox ESR 115.27, Firefox ESR 128.14, Firefox ESR 140.2, Thunderbird 142, Thunderbird 128.14, and Thunderbird 140.2.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.59%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 46
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access92 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution85 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation78 %
Vector CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indica explotación remota sin interacción (T1190). Corrupción de memoria en proceso GMP permite ejecución de código (T1059) y potencial escape de sandbox para escalada de privilegios (T1068).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
