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 Google Chrome versionNavigate to chrome://settings/help or use 'About Google Chrome' in the Chrome menu to view the version numberAffected if Version is lower than 149.0.7827.53
-
Verify Chromecast extension or component is enabledCheck for Google Cast extension in chrome://extensions or look for Cast icon in Chrome toolbarAffected if Chromecast extension is installed and enabled on a vulnerable Chrome version
-
Confirm Chrome is used as the casting sourceObserve if Chrome is used to cast content to Chromecast devices, as the vulnerability exists in the Chromecast componentAffected if Casting from Chrome to Chromecast devices occurs on a vulnerable version
User is affected if Google Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 and the Chromecast component is in use, though exploitation also requires a pre-compromised renderer process
