Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 71.0.3578.80

Description The issue is related to the lack of special casing of localhost in WPAD files in Google Chrome, allowing an attacker on the local network segment to proxy resources on localhost via a crafted WPAD file. This could enable an attacker to redirect resources on localhost using a specially created WPAD file.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 71.0.3578.80, update to version 71.0.3578.80 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to WPAD files or disabling the use of WPAD files until the update is applied.
