CVE-2025-11712

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A malicious page could have used the type attribute of an OBJECT tag to override the default browser behavior when encountering a web resource served without a content-type. This could have contributed to an XSS on a site that unsafely serves files without a content-type header. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 144, Firefox ESR 140.4, Thunderbird 144, and Thunderbird 140.4.
