CVE-2016-1664 describes a spoofing vulnerability in Google Chrome versions prior to 50.0.2661.94, specifically affecting the HistoryController::UpdateForCommit function. This flaw allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar through a crafted website due to improper handling of subframe forward navigations. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), it requires user interaction (UI:R) and has a low impact on integrity (I:L), meaning an attacker could trick users into believing they are on a legitimate site. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit or ExploitDB, though it did receive some media coverage upon disclosure.
