CVSS v2.0

4.3

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Google Chrome versions 1.0.154.48 and earlier Google Chrome version 2.0.172.28 Google Chrome version 2.0.172.37
Description: The issue allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to injecting a Refresh header that contains JavaScript sequences in a data:text/html URI or entering a data:text/html URI with JavaScript sequences when specifying the content of a Refresh header. The JavaScript executes outside of the context of the HTTP site.
Recommendations: For Google Chrome versions 1.0.154.48 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.0.154.48 to resolve the issue. For Google Chrome version 2.0.172.28, update to a version later than 2.0.172.28 to resolve the issue. For Google Chrome version 2.0.172.37, update to a version later than 2.0.172.37 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of data: URIs in Refresh headers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
