CVE-2016-5143: Google Chrome

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Developer Tools (aka DevTools) subsystem in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, mishandles the script-path hostname, remoteBase parameter, and remoteFrontendUrl parameter, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted URL, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-5144.
