CVE-2005-0145
Firefox before 1.0 does not properly distinguish between user-generated and synthetic click events, which allows remote attackers to use Javascript to bypass the file download prompt when the user uses the Alt-click feature.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
