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 · high confidenceInteger overflow vulnerability in Chromecast's Google Chrome component (pre-149.0.7827.53) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the sandbox via a crafted HTML page.

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.
-
Verify Google Chrome is installedCheck for Google Chrome browser on the system - look for Chrome executable (chrome.exe on Windows, Google Chrome.app on macOS, or google-chrome on Linux) in standard installation directories or via system application listingAffected if Google Chrome is present on the system
-
Find installed Chrome version (Windows)Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://version, or right-click the Chrome shortcut and select Properties to view the version in the Target fieldAffected if The displayed version is earlier than 149.0.7827.53
-
Find installed Chrome version (macOS)Open Chrome, click Chrome menu, then select About Google Chrome to display the version numberAffected if The displayed version is earlier than 149.0.7827.53
-
Find installed Chrome version (Linux)Run 'google-chrome --version' or 'google-chrome-stable --version' from command lineAffected if The displayed version is earlier than 149.0.7827.53
The system is affected if Google Chrome is installed with any version prior to 149.0.7827.53, since the integer overflow in the Chromecast component can be exploited when a crafted HTML page is loaded after prior renderer compromise.
