CVE-2017-5026
Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, failed to prevent alerts from being displayed by swapped out frames, which allowed a remote attacker to show alerts on a page they don't control via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
