Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 44.0.2403.89

Description The issue is related to the Spellcheck API implementation in Google Chrome, which does not use an HTTPS session for downloading a Hunspell dictionary. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to deliver incorrect spelling suggestions or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 44.0.2403.89, update to version 44.0.2403.89 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to untrusted networks to minimize the risk of exploitation.
