A vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, Firefox ESR, Firefox for Android, and Thunderbird allows an attacker to corrupt the methods of a JavaScript Array object via prototype pollution. This can result in the execution of attacker-controlled JavaScript code in a privileged context, potentially bypassing security boundaries within the browser or mail client.

This repository contains a browser exploit targeting Mozilla Firefox 100.0.1 on Windows, specifically exploiting CVE-2022-1802, CVE-2022-1529, and CVE-2022-2200. The exploit is implemented in JavaScript and HTML, with the main logic in 'exploit.html' and 'exploit.js'. The attack leverages prototype pollution via crafted IPC messages (Notification:Save) to manipulate the browser's internal object prototypes, followed by memory corruption techniques to gain arbitrary read/write primitives. The exploit chain culminates in privilege escalation or arbitrary code execution within the browser process. The repository includes a README with a reference to the tested Firefox version, and two minimal .mjs files unrelated to the exploit. The attack vector is browser-based, requiring the victim to open a malicious HTML file. The exploit demonstrates a high level of technical detail and operational maturity, but does not appear to be weaponized for mass exploitation.
