Frequently Asked Questions
Who is realistically exposed to this issue?
Windows systems running Google Chrome versions earlier than 153.0.8010.36 are affected. Exploitation requires a local attacker, so remote-only attackers are not described by the available information.
What does an attacker need to exploit the vulnerability?
The attacker needs the ability to run a local program on the affected Windows system. The vulnerability may allow that local program to execute arbitrary code outside the Chrome sandbox.
How can I determine whether remediation is needed?
Check the installed Google Chrome version on Windows. Systems running a version prior to 153.0.8010.36 should be updated to at least 153.0.8010.36.
