    Out of 48 weeks, Mozilla's offerings have had "important vulnerabilities" (AKA, a carefully crafted webpage can gain root
    access just by visiting it) for 47 weeks ....
    Only ONE week they "forgot".
    And they are practically ALL "regressions". IOW,
    vulnerabilities that have been fixed and then deliberately
    re-introduced.

    This week's CVSS scores:

    * CVE-2025-11708 ( NVD ): 9.8
    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
    * CVE-2025-11709 ( NVD ): 9.8
    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
    * CVE-2025-11710 ( NVD ): 9.8
    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

    9.8 score? Gratz Mozilla. And almost perfect 10. A 10 is when
    you mail your computer to Glugle, Farcekook, Crowdfare, X or any other
    TLS "partner". With a list of your passwords, of course.

    They claim they care about your "privacy".
    LOL.

    affecting Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird browser products. This
    vulnerability exists in Firefox versions prior to 144 and Firefox ESR
    versions prior to 140.4, as well as Thunderbird versions prior to 144
    and 140.4.
    Impact

    Interestingly, all are about Linux. Maybe that bug was a complicatd one, hardly easy to exploit.
