  1. Great write-up. One minor point of clarification: Mozilla’s advisory for CVE-2026-15718 and CVE-2026-15719 states that public exploit code is available, but Mozilla was “not aware of any attacks in the wild abusing this flaw” at the time of disclosure. As written, the headline could be interpreted as confirmed exploitation, whereas the available reporting appears to support public exploit availability rather than observed in-the-wild attacks.
