Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who is exposed to this issue?

Systems running Google Chrome versions earlier than 152.0.7977.65 are affected. Exploitation requires that the attacker has already compromised the Chrome renderer process and can use a local program.

2

Does this vulnerability allow a remote attacker to escape the Chrome sandbox by itself?

The available information describes a local attacker who has already compromised the renderer process. It does not state that unauthenticated remote exploitation alone is sufficient.

3

What is the security impact after successful exploitation?

A successful attacker can execute arbitrary code outside the Chrome sandbox.
