CVE-2009-3048
Opera before 10.00 on Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD does not properly implement the "INPUT TYPE=file" functionality, which allows remote attackers to trick a user into uploading an unintended file via vectors involving a "dropped file."
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
