Current Description

Heap buffer overflow in libwebp in Google Chrome prior to 116.0.5845.187 and libwebp 1.3.2 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

By crafter webpage, does it mean it refers to anything like phishing or something a more savvy user wouldn't likely "fall for" or does that actually not matter (zero-day or whatever)
