CVE-2016-5197
The content view client in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.85 for Android insufficiently validated intent URLs, which allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to start arbitrary activity on the system via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
