MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 1.76%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

It is possible to spoof the filename of an attachment and display an arbitrary attachment name. This could lead to a user opening a remote attachment which is a different file type than expected. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird ESR < 52.8 and Thunderbird < 52.8.
