24) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations

EUVDB-ID: #VU59081

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4126

CWE-ID: CWE-357 - Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attacks.

The vulnerability exists in the way Thunderbird handles signed email messages. When receiving an OpenPGP/MIME signed email message that contains an additional outer MIME message layer, for example a message footer added by a mailing list gateway, Thunderbird only considered the inner signed message for the signature validity. This gave the false impression that the additional contents were also covered by the digital signature.

Mitigation

Update the affected package thunderbird to the latest version.
