CVE-2017-8794
Because a regular expression (intended to match local https URLs) lacks an initial ^ character, courier/web/1000@/wmProgressval.html allows SSRF attacks with a file:///etc/passwd#https:// URL pattern.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
