| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Google Chrome versions prior to 40.0.2214.91
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via crafted JavaScript code with Proxy.create and console.log calls, related to HTTP responses that lack an "X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff" header.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 40.0.2214.91, update to version 40.0.2214.91 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the Harmony proxy in Google V8 until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable API endpoints to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
Proxy.create function in conjunction with console.log calls in affected versions until the issue is resolved.Exploit
