Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When "%2F" was present in a manifest URL, Firefox's AppCache behavior may have become confused and allowed a manifest to be served from a subdirectory. This could cause the appcache to be used to service requests for the top level directory. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 78.
