MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.58%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
When the text of a specially formatted URL is dragged to the addressbar from page content, the displayed URL can be spoofed to show a different site than the one loaded. This allows for phishing attacks where a malicious page can spoof the identify of another site. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
