Netscape Communicator and Navigator 4.04 through 4.74 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using a Java applet to open a connection to a URL using the "file", "http", "https", and "ftp" protocols, as demonstrated by Brown Orifice.
CVE-2000-0676 is a security vulnerability that . Impacting 1 product from netscape organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Originally identified in 2000, this vulnerability predates many modern security frameworks and practices. The vulnerability landscape of that era was characterized by different threat models and less mature defense mechanisms compared to contemporary standards.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For netscape's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
