Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2022-2164
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 103.0.5060.53
**Description**
The issue is related to an inappropriate implementation in the Extensions API of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers, which is associated with incorrectly implemented security checks for standard elements. This could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information. An attacker who convinces a user to install a malicious extension can bypass discretionary access control via a crafted HTML page.
**Recommendations**
For Google Chrome versions prior to 103.0.5060.53, update to version 103.0.5060.53 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the installation of extensions to only trusted sources until the update is applied.
Avoid using crafted HTML pages that could exploit the vulnerability in the Extensions API until the issue is resolved.
