CVE-2015-2239
Last modified
CVE-2015-2239 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, when Instant Extended mode is used, does not properly consider the interaction between the "1993 search" features and restore-from-disk RELOAD transitions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof the address bar for a search-results page by leveraging (1) a compromised search engine or (2) an XSS vulnerability in a search engine, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1231.. EPSS estimates a 1.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
