Frequently Asked Questions

Exploitation requires the attacker to have already compromised the Chrome renderer process. The issue can then be triggered using a crafted HTML page to bypass site isolation.

2

Which Chrome versions need to be remediated?

Google Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 are affected. Update Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or a later version.

Are users protected if they only visit trusted sites?

The issue involves a crafted HTML page, but the attacker must first compromise the renderer process. The provided information does not identify any specific sites, extensions, or user actions that lead to that initial compromise.
