CVE-2018-12399
This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63.
MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 1.36%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.36%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
When a new protocol handler is registered, the API accepts a title argument which can be used to mislead users about which domain is registering the new protocol. This may result in the user approving a protocol handler that they otherwise would not have. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63.
