CVE-2017-5417
When dragging content from the primary browser pane to the addressbar on a malicious site, it is possible to change the addressbar so that the displayed location following navigation does not match the URL of the newly loaded page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.09%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
