MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.23%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In some cases, removing HTML elements during sanitization would keep existing SVG event handlers and therefore lead to XSS. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 83, Firefox ESR < 78.5, and Thunderbird < 78.5.
