🚨Critical - Firefox & Thunderbird: three sandbox escapes in graphics and widget code (CVE-2026-117988, CVE-2026-117990, CVE-2026-117997) Malicious web content can break out of the content sandbox three ways: incorrect boundary conditions in CanvasWebGL and in WebRender, plus a use-after-free in the Widget component. All are remote, unauthenticated and need only that the victim loads the page — scope-changed 9.6, meaning code running outside the sandbox on the host. 👉Affected: Firefox < 159, ESR < 153.6, Thunderbird < 159 / < 153.6 (117997 is Firefox only) | Upgrade now
