MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.41%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.41%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Relative URLs starting with three slashes were incorrectly parsed, and a path-traversal "/../" part in the path could be used to override the specified host. This could contribute to security problems in web sites. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 120, Firefox ESR < 115.5.0, and Thunderbird < 115.5.
