An issue was discovered in GNOME Evolution before 3.35.91.
MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.77%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in GNOME Evolution before 3.35.91. By using the proprietary (non-RFC6068) "mailto?attach=..." parameter, a website (or other source of mailto links) can make Evolution attach local files or directories to a composed email message without showing a warning to the user, as demonstrated by an attach=. value.
