Frequently Asked Questions

1

What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

The attacker must first compromise the Chrome renderer process. The crafted HTML page is used after that compromise to obtain sensitive information.

2

Which Chrome versions are affected?

Google Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 are affected. Updating to 152.0.7977.65 or later addresses the affected version range described.

3

Are users exposed merely by visiting a malicious page?

The available information does not describe exploitation from page loading alone. It states that the remote attacker must have already compromised the renderer process, with crafted HTML then used to leak sensitive information.
