CVE-2006-1733

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-1733 is a critical vulnerability affecting older versions of Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla Suite, and SeaMonkey. It stems from improper protection of XBL binding compilation scope, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through specific method calls or by manipulating the DOM's document.body prototype chain. With a CVSS score of 6.8, this vulnerability has a network attack vector, medium attack complexity, and can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While the EPSS and FAUCET Risk Score indicate a significant potential risk, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or community discussion surrounding this decade-old flaw.
