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.

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 if Google Chrome is installed on macOSOpen Terminal and run: ls /Applications/ | grep -i chrome or look for Google Chrome.app in /Applications/Affected if Google Chrome is not found in the Applications folder, the check does not apply
-
Determine the installed Google Chrome versionOpen Chrome, navigate to chrome://version, or run: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --versionAffected if The version displayed is less than 150.0.7871.47
-
Confirm the operating system is macOSRun: uname -s in Terminal, or check System Information > About This MacAffected if The OS is macOS and Chrome version is below 150.0.7871.47
A user is affected if Google Chrome is installed on macOS and the installed version is lower than 150.0.7871.47, as this combination falls within the vulnerable version range.
