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 Chrome installation by looking for chrome.exe in typical installation paths (e.g., C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\ on Windows, /Applications/Google Chrome.app on macOS, or via 'which google-chrome' on Linux). Alternatively, open Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/help to confirm the browser is present.Affected if Google Chrome is not installed on the system
-
Determine the installed Chrome versionIn Chrome, type chrome://version in the address bar and press Enter. Note the version number displayed (e.g., 150.0.7871.0). On Windows, you can also right-click chrome.exe, select Properties, and check the Details tab. On Linux, run 'google-chrome --version' in terminal.Affected if Unable to retrieve the installed version number
-
Compare installed version against affected rangeTake the installed version number (e.g., 150.0.7871.0) and compare it numerically to the affected threshold 150.0.7871.47. Extract the major, minor, and build numbers for accurate comparison. Versions below 150.0.7871.47 are affected.Affected if Installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47 (e.g., 150.0.7871.0, 149.5.1234.56, etc.)
-
Confirm Password Manager feature statusIn Chrome, go to chrome://settings/passwords. Verify whether the Password Manager is enabled (toggle switch at the top). This feature is enabled by default. The vulnerability exists in this component regardless of whether saved passwords are actively used.Affected if Password Manager is enabled (this is the default state and is required for the vulnerability to be exploitable)
A system is affected if Google Chrome is installed with a version lower than 150.0.7871.47 and the Password Manager feature is enabled, which is the default configuration.
