What is CVE-2024-4772?

Specifically, the nonce for HTTP digest authentication is created using the rand() function, leading to predictability and allowing attackers to potentially exploit this weakness. This issue affects versions of Firefox earlier than 126, necessitating urgent updates to ensure robust security in user authentication processes.
