This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.35%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
If manipulated hyperlinked text with "chrome:" URL contained in it is dragged and dropped on the "home" icon, the home page can be reset to include a normally-unlinkable chrome page as one of the home page tabs. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
