MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.17%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
KMail since version 5.3.0 used a QWebEngine based viewer that had JavaScript enabled. HTML Mail contents were not sanitized for JavaScript and included code was executed.
