Discussion

Mozilla Thunderbird Multiple Remote Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities

Mozilla Thunderbird is susceptible to multiple remote information-disclosure vulnerabilities. These issues are due to the application's failure to properly enforce the restriction for downloading remote content in email messages.

These issues allow remote attackers to gain access to potentially sensitive information, aiding them in further attacks. Attackers may also exploit these issues to know whether and when users read email messages.

Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.5 is vulnerable to these issues; other versions may also be affected.

Exploit / POC
