CVE-2017-5452
Malicious sites can display a spoofed addressbar on a page when the existing location bar on the new page is scrolled out of view if an HTML editable page element is user selected.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
