| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Google Chrome versions prior to 91.0.4472.101
Description
The issue is related to a use after free in the spell check function of Google Chrome, which can be exploited by an attacker who convinces a user to install a malicious extension. This can potentially lead to heap corruption via a crafted HTML page, allowing a remote attacker to bypass existing security restrictions.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 91.0.4472.101, update to version 91.0.4472.101 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the spell check function until a patch is available. Restrict access to malicious extensions to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using crafted HTML pages in the affected browser version until the issue is resolved.
