This could allow for injection into certain types of websites resulting in data exfiltration.

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.99%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When pasting a &lt;style&gt; tag from the clipboard into a rich text editor, the CSS sanitizer incorrectly rewrites a @namespace rule. This could allow for injection into certain types of websites resulting in data exfiltration. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.4 and Firefox < 72.
