CVE-2017-5046 describes an insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine within Google Chrome versions prior to 57.0.2987.98 (desktop) and 57.0.2987.108 (Android), affecting various operating systems including Apple, Debian, Google, Linux, Microsoft, and Red Hat. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.3) allows a remote attacker to spoof the location object via a crafted HTML page, leading to information disclosure.
