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.
-
Confirm Google Chrome is installed on iOSLocate the Chrome app icon on the iOS device home screen or in the app library. Chrome has a multi-colored circle icon with a blue 'C' in the center.Affected if Chrome is not installed on the iOS device, the system is not affected by this CVE.
-
Identify the installed Chrome version on iOSOpen Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right, select 'Settings', then tap 'Chrome' at the top. The version number is displayed under the Chrome name. Alternatively, navigate to chrome://version in the address bar.Affected if Unable to determine the version, assume the worst-case scenario and treat as potentially affected.
-
Compare version against affected rangeTake the installed version number (e.g., 150.0.7871.x) and compare it numerically to 150.0.7871.47. Any version lower than 150.0.7871.47 falls within the affected range.Affected if The installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47 (for example, 150.0.7871.40 or 149.x.x.x).
-
Verify WebAuthentication API is accessibleThe WebAuthentication API is built into Chrome and automatically available. No configuration toggle is needed. The vulnerability triggers when a user visits a crafted HTML page that attempts to use the WebAuthentication API.Affected if The WebAuthentication API is disabled or blocked via enterprise policy, reducing the attack surface but not eliminating the risk entirely.
The environment is affected if Google Chrome on iOS is installed with a version lower than 150.0.7871.47 and the WebAuthentication API is accessible to web pages, allowing a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a side-channel attack.

dbcve · scoped150.0.7871.47
Update Google Chrome on iOS to version 150.0.7871.47 or later. For enterprise environments, ensure mobile device management policies enforce the Chrome update.
Chrome iOS 150.0.7871.47 or later
- Open the App Store on your iOS device
- Search for Google Chrome or go to your installed apps
