CVE-2026-44658

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Zen is a firefox-based browser. Prior to 1.19.12b, RSS feed URLs entered by the user are validated to http: or https: in promptForFeedUrl, but item links inside the feed are not subject to the same restriction. The provider maps each RSS/Atom item link into item.url, filters only for presence and date, and returns the item list. The live-folder manager later creates pinned lazy tabs from these values with gBrowser.addTrustedTab(item.url, ...). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.12b.

Antes de la versión 1.19.12b, las URL de feeds RSS introducidas por el usuario se validan para http: o https: en promptForFeedUrl, pero los enlaces de elementos dentro del feed no están sujetos a la misma restricción. El proveedor mapea cada enlace de elemento RSS/Atom a item.url, filtra solo por presencia y fecha, y devuelve la lista de elementos. El gestor de carpetas en vivo más tarde crea pestañas perezosas ancladas a partir de estos valores con gBrowser.addTrustedTab(item.url, ...). Esta vulnerabilidad se corrige en la versión 1.19.12b."
