CVE-2021-21176 describes an inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome's full-screen mode, affecting versions prior to 89.0.4389.72, which allowed a remote attacker to spoof the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted HTML page. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) requires user interaction (UI:R) and could lead to high integrity impact (I:H) without affecting confidentiality or availability.
