Description (CNA)
The Firefox updater created a directory writable by non-privileged users. When uninstalling Firefox, any files in that directory would be recursively deleted with the permissions of the uninstalling user account. This could be combined with creation of a junction (a form of symbolic link) to allow arbitrary file deletion controlled by the non-privileged user. *This bug only affects Firefox on Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.* This vulnerability affects Firefox < 116, Firefox ESR < 115.1, and Thunderbird < 115.1.

| Vendor / product | Versions |

| Mozilla / Firefox | affected unspecified before 116 |
| Mozilla / Firefox ESR | affected unspecified before 115.1 |
| Mozilla / Thunderbird | affected unspecified before 115.1 |
