CVE-2020-6571
Insufficient data validation in Omnibox in Google Chrome prior to 85.0.4183.83 allowed a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing via IDN homographs via a crafted domain name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.31%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
