CVE-2023-5857

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 119.0.6045.105

Description The issue is related to an inappropriate implementation in the Downloads component of Google Chrome, which may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a malicious file. This could be achieved by exploiting the vulnerability through a specially crafted web page, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 119.0.6045.105, update to version 119.0.6045.105 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Downloads component until a patch is applied. Avoid using the Downloads feature with untrusted or malicious files until the issue is resolved.
