High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Google Chrome versions prior to 84.0.4147.89
Description
The issue is related to a use after free in the developer tools of Google Chrome, which could potentially allow a remote attacker to exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. This might enable the attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 84.0.4147.89, update to version 84.0.4147.89 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of developer tools until the update is applied. Restrict access to crafted HTML pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
