A security bypass vulnerability exists in Symantec Norton Mobile Security for Android before 3.16, which could let a malicious user conduct a man-in-the-middle via specially crafted JavaScript to add arbitrary URLs to the URL whitelist.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
