More security warning for Indian users from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) this week and this time it is related to Mozilla’s Firefox web browser.
The security agency has been proactive recently with multiple alerts for Indian users and once again it is warning them about a security issue that can leave them vulnerable if the hackers are able to bypass their device security and gain access to confidential data.
You can head over to CERT-In website for the latest security bulletin which details the problem with Firefox and how it can be used to steal data from the affected users. The biggest concern about this alert is that Firefox has not one but multiple security issues that can make it easy to compromise your device.
All these issues clearly state that unauthorised access will be achievable which is never a good sign. But which Firefox versions are affected by the security issue and which platforms are in danger? The security agency says these versions of Firefox affect users:
– Firefox ESR versions before 115.5.0
– Firefox iOS versions before 120
– Mozilla Thunderbird version before 115.5
