CVE-2019-11070
WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit prior to version 2.24.1 failed to properly apply configured HTTP proxy settings when downloading livestream video (HLS, DASH, or Smooth Streaming), an error resulting in deanonymization.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
