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 if Google Chrome is installed on Windows
    Open Settings > Apps > Apps & features, or run 'Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*Chrome*"}' in PowerShell
    Affected if Google Chrome for Windows appears in the installed applications list
  2. Determine installed Chrome version
    Open Chrome, click the three-dot menu > Help > About Google Chrome, or navigate to chrome://settings/help, or run '$(Get-Item "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe").VersionInfo.FileVersion' in PowerShell
    Affected if A version number is displayed showing Chrome for Windows
  3. Compare version against vulnerable range
    Compare the installed version number to the affected range: versions prior to 135.0.7049.95 on Windows are vulnerable
    Affected if The installed version is less than 135.0.7049.95 (for example, 135.0.7049.84, 134.x.x.x, etc.)

If Google Chrome for Windows is installed and the version is lower than 135.0.7049.95, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
