CVE-2016-5217
The extensions API in Google Chrome prior to 55.0.2883.75 for Mac, Windows and Linux, and 55.0.2883.84 for Android incorrectly permitted access to privileged plugins, which allowed a remote attacker to bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
