Last modified
CVE-2016-1643 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ImageInputType::ensurePrimaryContent function in WebKit/Source/core/html/forms/ImageInputType.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.87, does not properly maintain the user agent shadow DOM, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that leverage "type confusion.". EPSS estimates a 2.75% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
