Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Google Chrome versions prior to 116.0.5845.96
Description
The issue is related to insufficient validation of untrusted input in XML, allowing a remote attacker to bypass file access restrictions via a crafted HTML page. This can impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The vulnerability is associated with the
document() method and external entities in Libxslt, enabling arbitrary file reading.Recommendations
For Google Chrome versions prior to 116.0.5845.96, update to version 116.0.5845.96 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of XML-related features in Google Chrome until a patch is applied. Avoid using the
document() method with external entities in Libxslt to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
