{"id":"CVE-2020-6799","details":"Command line arguments could have been injected during Firefox invocation as a shell handler for certain unsupported file types. This required Firefox to be configured as the default handler for a given file type and for a file downloaded to be opened in a third party application that insufficiently sanitized URL data. In that situation, clicking a link in the third party application could have been used to retrieve and execute files whose location was supplied through command line arguments. Note: This issue only affects Windows operating systems and when Firefox is configured as the default handler for non-default filetypes. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox \u003c 73 and Firefox \u003c ESR68.5.","modified":"2026-03-14T10:32:40.975787Z","published":"2020-03-02T05:15:13.590Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2020:0383-1","SUSE-SU-2020:0384-1","SUSE-SU-2020:14290-1","openSUSE-SU-2020:0230-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10600-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:14572-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202003-02"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2020-05/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2020-06/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606596"}],"affected":[{"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2020-6799.json","unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"73.0"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"68.5.0"}]}]}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
