Does this matter?

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

Description

If a user clicked into a specifically crafted PDF, the PDF reader could be confused into leaking cross-origin information, when said information is served as chunked data. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85, Thunderbird < 78.7, and Firefox ESR < 78.7.
