thunderbird vulnerabilities

Published Mar 28, 2019 · Updated Apr 22, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that Thunderbird allowed PAC files to specify that
requests to localhost are sent through the proxy to another server. If
proxy auto-detection is enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit
this to conduct attacks on local services and tools. (CVE-2018-18506)

Multiple security issues were discovered in Thunderbird. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context,
an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service,
or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-9788, CVE-2019-9790, CVE-2019-9791,
CVE-2019-9792, CVE-2019-9795, CVE-2019-9796, CVE-2019-9810, CVE-2019-9813)

A mechanism was discovered that removes some bounds checking for string,
array, or typed array accesses if Spectre mitigations have been disabled.
If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website in a
browsing context with Spectre mitigations disabled, an attacker could
potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-9793)
