CVE-2017-5006
Blink in Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, incorrectly handled object owner relationships, which allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.44%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
