CVE-2022-0107

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 97.0.4692.71

Description The issue is related to a use after free vulnerability in the File Manager API of Google Chrome, which can be exploited by an attacker using a specially crafted HTML page. This could potentially allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation may involve convincing a user to install a malicious extension, which could then exploit heap corruption.

Recommendations For versions prior to 97.0.4692.71, update to version 97.0.4692.71 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the installation of extensions to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the File Manager API in Google Chrome until the issue is resolved.
