CVE-2005-0230

CVE-2005-0230 describes a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.0 where users could drag executable files with dangerous extensions (e.g., .bat, .exe) to the desktop, even if they were disguised with an image/gif content type. This allowed remote attackers to bypass security restrictions and execute arbitrary commands, a technique dubbed "firedragging." The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating a medium severity with a network attack vector, high access complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
