Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 68.0.3440.75

Description The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the URL Formatter component of Google Chrome. This allows a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing via specially crafted domain names, potentially leading to the manipulation of the Omnibox (URL) component content. The vulnerability exploits incorrect handling of confusable characters, enabling attackers to use IDN homographs for spoofing.
