CVE-2016-1677
uri.js in Google V8 before 5.1.281.26, as used in Google Chrome before 51.0.2704.63, uses an incorrect array type, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by calling the decodeURI function and leveraging "type confusion."

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.05%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
