CVE-2026-74938 is a mitigation bypass vulnerability in Mozilla's JavaScript garbage collection component. The issue affects Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird and was fixed in Firefox 154, Firefox ESR 153.1, Thunderbird 154, and Thunderbird 153.1. Available information identifies the affected area only as the JavaScript: GC component and indicates that the flaw allows an attacker to circumvent an existing security mitigation rather than directly describing a memory-safety primitive or specific vulnerable function. The vulnerability is part of a broader set of Mozilla security fixes released in August 2026.
