CVE-2020-6518

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 84.0.4147.89

Description The issue is related to a use after free in the developer tools of Google Chrome, which could potentially allow a remote attacker to exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. This might enable the attacker to access confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 84.0.4147.89, update to version 84.0.4147.89 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of developer tools until the update is applied. Restrict access to crafted HTML pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
