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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Chrome version via command lineRun 'google-chrome --version' on Linux, 'chrome --version' on Windows, or open Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/help to view the versionAffected if The version shown is less than 143.0.7499.40 (for example, 143.0.7499.0, 142.0.xxxx.x, etc.)

Confirm V8 JavaScript engine is in useV8 is the built-in JavaScript engine for Chrome and is always enabled by default. No manual check needed - this is a core component of every Chrome installationAffected if Chrome is running at all - V8 cannot be disabled in standard Chrome installations
A user is affected if their installed Google Chrome version is any version below 143.0.7499.40, since the V8 JavaScript engine vulnerability is always present in unpatched versions.
