Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2023-0474
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 109.0.5414.119
**Description**
The issue is related to a use after free in GuestView, which could potentially allow an attacker to exploit heap corruption via a Chrome web app if a user is convinced to install a malicious extension. This could lead to unauthorized access to confidential data, disruption of data integrity, and denial of service, potentially through a specially crafted HTML page.
**Recommendations**
For Google Chrome versions prior to 109.0.5414.119, update to version 109.0.5414.119 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the installation of extensions until the update is applied. Restrict access to Chrome web apps to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using Chrome with untrusted or malicious extensions.
