CVE-2026-84642: Mozilla Thunderbird

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The values of the mail.allowed_attachment_hostnames advanced config setting were used in a regular expression without escaping. For some possible valid hostnames, this could allow certain unintended hostnames to also match and serve remote attachments. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 155 and Thunderbird 153.2.

Affected products

• Mozilla Thunderbird: before 153.2.0 (fixed in 153.2.0); from 154.0, before 155.0 (fixed in 155.0)
