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 Chrome is installed on WindowsCheck if Google Chrome exists in the system. Common paths: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. Alternatively, run 'Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue' in PowerShell.Affected if Chrome is not installed on the system.
-
Retrieve the installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome and navigate to chrome://version, or run 'chrome.exe --version' from Command Prompt, or check the version property of chrome.exe in File Explorer.Affected if Unable to retrieve a Chrome version number.
-
Compare against vulnerable version rangeCompare the installed version to the affected range: versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 on Windows are vulnerable. The full version string typically appears as something like 149.0.7827.53 or lower.Affected if The installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 148.0.5352.71).
-
Confirm the operating system is WindowsThis vulnerability specifically affects Windows. Run 'winver' or check system properties to confirm the OS. Chrome on other platforms (macOS, Linux) are not affected by this specific CVE.Affected if The system is not running Windows.
The environment is affected if Google Chrome for Windows is installed with a version lower than 149.0.7827.53, and the attacker has already compromised the renderer process to exploit the SiteIsolation validation flaw.
