MEDIUM 5.0EPSS 2.55%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Absolute path traversal vulnerability in a certain ActiveX control in the CYFT object in ft60.dll in Yahoo! Messenger 8.1.0.421 allows remote attackers to force a download, and create or overwrite arbitrary files via a full pathname in the second argument to the GetFile method.
