CVE-2020-20096
Whatsapp iOS 2.19.80 and prior and Android 2.19.222 and prior user interface does not properly represent URI messages to the user, which results in URI spoofing via specially crafted messages.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
