CVE-2024-11696

The Mozilla Foundation's Security Advisory: The application can fail to account for exceptions thrown by the loadManifestFromFile method during add-on signature verification. This flaw is triggered by an invalid or unsupported extension manifest and could cause runtime errors that disrupt the signature validation process. As a result, the enforcement of signature validation for unrelated add-ons may be bypassed. Signature validation in this context is used to ensure that third-party applications on the user's computer have not tampered with the user's extensions, limiting the impact of this issue.
