This allowed an attacker to successfully probe whether an external protocol handler was registered.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.95%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.95%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

If a valid external protocol handler was referenced in an image tag, the resulting broken image size could be distinguished from a broken image size of a non-existent protocol handler. This allowed an attacker to successfully probe whether an external protocol handler was registered. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 82.
