If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted website in a browsing context, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, cross-site tracing, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-1945, CVE-2023-29548, CVE-2023-29550) Paul Menzel discovered that Thunderbird did not properly validate OCSP revocation status of recipient certificates when sending S/Mime encrypted email.
