CVE-2018-18348
Incorrect handling of bidirectional domain names with RTL characters in Omnibox in Google Chrome prior to 71.0.3578.80 allowed a remote attacker to spoof the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted domain name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.11%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
