CVE-2020-15977
Insufficient data validation in dialogs in Google Chrome on OS X prior to 86.0.4240.75 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from disk via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.49%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
