CVE-2014-3172

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 37.0.2062.94

Description The issue exists due to the lack of URL validation in the Debugger extension API before an attach operation. This allows remote attackers to bypass access limitations by using an extension with a restricted URL, such as a chrome:// URL.

Recommendations For versions prior to 37.0.2062.94, update to version 37.0.2062.94 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the debugger api.cc module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using restricted URLs, such as chrome:// URLs, in extensions until the issue is resolved.
