Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2018-6151
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 66.0.3359.117
**Description**
The issue is related to a bad cast in DevTools in Google Chrome, which allowed an attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted Chrome Extension. This could be achieved if the attacker convinced a user to install a malicious extension. The vulnerability affects Google Chrome on various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and Chrome OS.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 66.0.3359.117, update to version 66.0.3359.117 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the installation of extensions to trusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using unverified or suspicious extensions until the issue is resolved.
