Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Inappropriate implementation in Site Isolation in Google Chrome prior to 122.0.6261.57 allowed a remote attacker to bypass content security policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A vulnerability in Chrome's Site Isolation feature allowed remote attackers to bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) protections via a specially crafted HTML page. Site Isolation is designed to separate websites into separate processes to prevent cross-site attacks; this flaw enabled malicious pages to circumvent CSP restrictions that normally prevent unauthorized script execution or data access.

MitigationUpdate Google Chrome to version 122.0.6261.57 or later to obtain the fix for this Site Isolation bypass vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Chrome version
    Navigate to chrome://settings/help or click Help > About Google Chrome to view the current version number
    Affected if The installed version is older than 122.0.6261.57 (e.g., 121.x.x.x or earlier)
  2. Verify Site Isolation is enabled
    Navigate to chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process and check the Site Isolation flag status; or go to chrome://settings/privacy and verify 'Enhanced protection' is enabled which enforces site isolation
    Affected if Site Isolation is enabled and the browser version is vulnerable (< 122.0.6261.57)
  3. Confirm CSP bypass impact
    The vulnerability allows crafted HTML pages to bypass CSP restrictions. Check for any unexpected script executions or data access that would normally be blocked by your configured CSP headers
    Affected if Content Security Policy headers are defined but scripts execute from untrusted sources, indicating the bypass was successful

You are affected if your Chrome version is below 122.0.6261.57 and Site Isolation is enabled, as the vulnerability specifically exploits the Site Isolation mechanism to bypass CSP protections.
