CVE-2024-1694

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Updator versions prior to 1.3.36.351

Description The issue is related to inadequate access control in the Google Updator program, allowing an attacker to bypass discretionary access control using a specially crafted file. This could enable a local attacker to exploit the weakness, potentially gaining elevated privileges on a system with Google Chrome installed.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.3.36.351, update to version 1.3.36.351 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Google Updator until a patch is applied.
