Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.59%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

This could have led to cross-origin account linking in violation of WebAuthn goals. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.10, Firefox < 101, and Firefox ESR < 91.10.
