CVE-2020-15658
The code for downloading files did not properly take care of special characters, which led to an attacker being able to cut off the file ending at an earlier position, leading to a different file type being downloaded than shown in the dialog.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
