Mozilla Firefox and 2 others: Improper Preservation of Permissions
CVE-2023-28161 is fixed in 5 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 111.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released March 14, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
If temporary "one-time" permissions, such as the ability to use the Camera, were granted to a document loaded using a file: URL, that permission persisted in that tab for all other documents loaded from a file: URL. This is potentially dangerous if the local files came from different sources, such as in a download directory. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 111.
