CVE-2008-0594
Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 does not always display a web forgery warning dialog if the entire contents of a web page are in a DIV tag that uses absolute positioning, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.97%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
