CVE-2021-30571
Insufficient policy enforcement in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 92.0.4515.107 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.19%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
