CVE-2016-5141
Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via vectors involving a provisional URL for an initially empty document, related to FrameLoader.cpp and ScopedPageLoadDeferrer.cpp.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
