CVE-2018-6101
A lack of host validation in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 66.0.3359.117 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page, if the user is running a remote DevTools debugging server.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.66%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
