CVE-2017-8458
Brave 0.12.4 has a URI Obfuscation issue in which a string such as https://safe.example.com@unsafe.example.com/ is displayed without a clear UI indication that it is not a resource on the safe.example.com web site.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
