security@mozilla.org reports:

An attacker was able to bypass the `connect-src` directive of a Content Security Policy by manipulating subdocuments. This would have also hidden the connections from the Network tab in Devtools.

When Multi-Account Containers was enabled, DNS requests could have bypassed a SOCKS proxy when the domain name was invalid or the SOCKS proxy was not responding.

If a user visited a webpage with an invalid TLS certificate, and granted an exception, the webpage was able to provide a WebAuthn challenge that the user would be prompted to complete. This is in violation of the WebAuthN spec which requires "a secure transport established without errors".

The exception page for the HTTPS-Only feature, displayed when a website is opened via HTTP, lacked an anti-clickjacking delay, potentially allowing an attacker to trick a user into granting an exception and loading a webpage over HTTP.

If a user saved a response from the Network tab in Devtools using the Save As context menu option, that file may not have been saved with the `.download` file extension. This could have led to the user inadvertently running a malicious executable.

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox 139 and Thunderbird 139. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
