CVE-2018-16079
A race condition between permission prompts and navigations in Prompts in Google Chrome prior to 69.0.3497.81 allowed a remote attacker to spoof the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.07%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
