CVE-2013-1710 is a vulnerability in the crypto.generateCRMFRequest function in Mozilla products, including Firefox before 23.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, Thunderbird before 17.0.8, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.20. The flaw is triggered through crafted input related to Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) request generation. A remote attacker can abuse this behavior to cause execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the affected application context or to perform cross-site scripting (XSS). In browser-capable contexts, this can result in script execution within the victim's session and potentially broader compromise depending on application privileges and exposed interfaces.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'firefox_proto_crmfrequest.rb', which exploits two vulnerabilities (CVE-2012-3993 and CVE-2013-1710) in Mozilla Firefox versions 5.0 through 15.0.1. The exploit leverages a flaw in the InstallTrigger global and the crypto.generateCRMFRequest function to escalate privileges and execute code in the browser's chrome context. The module serves a malicious HTML page with obfuscated JavaScript that abuses these vulnerabilities to silently install a malicious Firefox add-on (XPI file) via the AddonManager API. The main attack vector is a browser-based drive-by attack, requiring the victim to visit a web page controlled by the attacker. The endpoint '/addon.xpi' is used to deliver the malicious payload. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and automates the entire attack chain, including payload delivery and execution.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module: 'firefox_tostring_console_injection.rb', which exploits a combination of JavaScript vulnerabilities (CVE-2013-1710 and related) in Mozilla Firefox versions 15.0 through 22.0. The exploit works by serving a malicious HTML/JavaScript page to a target using a vulnerable Firefox browser. The JavaScript abuses the toString method and console.time to inject code into a privileged 'chrome://' context, ultimately achieving remote code execution. The module is highly weaponized, leveraging Metasploit's payload system to deliver arbitrary code (such as a reverse shell) to the victim. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the 'chrome://' privileged context within Firefox. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following Metasploit's exploit module conventions, and is intended for use within the Metasploit Framework.
