Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2020-6438
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 81.0.4044.92
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient policy enforcement in extensions, allowing an attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted Chrome Extension. This can happen if a user is convinced to install a malicious extension. The attacker, acting remotely, can exploit this to gain access to confidential data.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 81.0.4044.92, update to version 81.0.4044.92 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.
