A parsing and event loading mismatch in Firefox's SVG code could have allowed load events to fire, even after sanitization.

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.05%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.05%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

A parsing and event loading mismatch in Firefox's SVG code could have allowed load events to fire, even after sanitization. An attacker already capable of exploiting an XSS vulnerability in privileged internal pages could have used this attack to bypass our built-in sanitizer. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 83, Firefox ESR < 78.5, and Thunderbird < 78.5.
