MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 0.54%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.54%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

When parsing internationalized domain names, high bits of the characters in the URLs were sometimes stripped, resulting in inconsistencies that could lead to user confusion or attacks such as phishing. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 94.
