Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-2760 is a sandbox escape vulnerability stemming from incorrect boundary conditions in the Graphics: WebRender component of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. It affects versions of Firefox prior to 148, Firefox ESR prior to 115.33 and 140.8, Thunderbird prior to 148, and Thunderbird prior to 140.8. The issue is cataloged under CWE-1384 with an NVD-CWE-noinfo mapping and carries a maximum CVSS v3.1 base score of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of prerequisites.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network without user privileges or interaction, leveraging malicious web content to bypass the browser's sandbox isolation in the WebRender graphics rendering engine. Successful exploitation enables scope change with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially granting attackers full control over the affected browser process and leading to arbitrary code execution on the user's system.
Mozilla's security advisories (MFSA 2026-13 through 2026-16) and the associated Bugzilla entry (bug 2011062) detail the fix applied in the specified versions of Firefox and Thunderbird. Security practitioners should prioritize updating affected browsers to mitigate this risk, as no workarounds are mentioned in the provided references.
