CVE-2026-2763 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the JavaScript Engine component used by Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird. The flaw arises from incorrect memory lifetime handling, allowing the engine to access memory after it has been freed. In memory-unsafe browser engine code, this condition can lead to memory corruption when processing attacker-influenced JavaScript content. Mozilla fixed the issue in Firefox 148, Firefox ESR 115.33, Firefox ESR 140.8, Thunderbird 148, and Thunderbird 140.8.

Repository contains a minimal JavaScript engine exploit PoC with 3 files: (1) README.md provides a detailed root-cause and exploitation strategy for a for-in iterator lifetime bug involving generators/yield and GC, leading to a use-after-free in iterator bookkeeping during property deletion; it further explains how the resulting primitive is a constrained 1-bit write at an attacker-influenced (8-byte aligned) address via NativeIterator cursor->markDeleted(), and proposes targeting MallocArena-allocated ImmutableScriptData (bytecode storage) to flip a bit in the bytecode stream used by JSOp::InitElemArray, allowing corruption of an array’s initialized length beyond capacity and enabling OOB read/write. (2) poc.html simply includes poc.js. (3) poc.js implements the trigger: it builds many candidate functions via eval (fff[]) to influence bytecode layout, defines a gc() routine that allocates many ArrayBuffers to force garbage collection, and uses a Proxy with getPrototypeOf trap to run gc() and execute fff[] during for-in iteration. The exploit creates an object with many properties to shape NativeIterator size, iterates it inside a generator (yield), calls f(o).next() without keeping a strong reference to the generator, then deletes a property (delete o["A11"]) to invoke the iterator suppression path while the iterator may have been freed by GC, aiming to obtain the 1-bit write. It then searches for which generated function produced a corrupted array (arrr) and demonstrates OOB by printing arrr.length and reading arrr[i] for i up to 0x20. No network IOCs/endpoints are present; the only observable endpoints are the local files used to load/run the PoC.
