CVE-2017-15427

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-15427 describes an insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability in Google Chrome's Omnibox, affecting versions prior to 63.0.3239.84 across Debian, Google, and Red Hat products. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) allows a user to self-XSS by dragging and dropping a javascript: URL into the address bar, requiring user interaction but potentially leading to low impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and it is not listed on the KEV catalog, despite some community discussion and media coverage.
