Brave · Brave Browser · CVE-2022-47933
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Brave Browser versions prior to 1.42.51
**Description**
The issue allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTML file that references the IPFS scheme. This is caused by an uncaught exception in the function `ipfs::OnBeforeURLRequest IPFSRedirectWork()` in `ipfs redirect network delegate helper.cc`.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.42.51, update to version 1.42.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `ipfs::OnBeforeURLRequest IPFSRedirectWork()` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to HTML files that reference the IPFS scheme to minimize the risk of exploitation.
