  - An attacker who can send HTML chat messages (via Matrix or XMPP) can inject arbitrary styled content,
    phishing links, and CSS that manipulates the chat UI. (CVE-2026-57963)

  - A malicious LDAP server, which a Thunderbird user is configured to query for address-book autocomplete,
    can stash arbitrarily large amounts of attacker-supplied data into the Thunderbird LDAP client until it
    crashes due to memory exhaustion. (CVE-2026-57962)
