CVE-2017-1000424
Github Electron version 1.6.4 - 1.6.11 and 1.7.0 - 1.7.5 is vulnerable to a URL Spoofing problem when opening PDFs in PDFium resulting loading arbitrary PDFs that a hacker can control.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.98%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
