Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 57.0.2987.98 Google Chrome for Android version 57.0.2987.108 and earlier

Description The issue allows a remote attacker to brute force JavaScript variables via a crafted HTML page, exploiting a flaw in the XSS Auditor mechanism related to the detection of blocked iframe loads. This enables attackers to guess JavaScript variables using a specially formed HTML page.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 57.0.2987.98, update to version 57.0.2987.98 or later. For Google Chrome for Android version 57.0.2987.108 and earlier, update to version 57.0.2987.108 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to iframes from untrusted sources until a patch is applied.
