NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream epiphany-browser package and not the epiphany-browser package as distributed by Debian.

XSS can occur in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) before 40.4 and 41.x before 41.1 because a server's suggested_filename is used as the pdf_name value in PDF.js.
