MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.84%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When performing add-on updates, certificate chains terminating in non-built-in-roots were rejected (even if they were legitimately added by an administrator.) This could have caused add-ons to become out-of-date silently without notification to the user. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 68.10, Firefox < 78, and Thunderbird < 68.10.0.
