CVE-2018-6178
Eliding from the wrong side in an infobar in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 68.0.3440.75 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to Hide Chrome Security UI via a crafted Chrome Extension.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.91%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
