Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in DataTransfer in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

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 confidence

Insufficient input validation in the DataTransfer API in Google Chrome on Windows before version 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker with an already compromised renderer process to perform UI spoofing by tricking users through a crafted HTML page.

MitigationUpdate Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later on all Windows systems; organizations may use group policy or endpoint management tools to ensure consistent patching.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Chrome is installed on Windows
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features, or run 'Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome"' in PowerShell to check for Chrome installation
    Affected if Google Chrome is not found in the system registry or programs list, then this CVE does not apply
  2. Check installed Chrome version
    Launch Chrome, navigate to chrome://settings/help, or run '"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --version' via command prompt
    Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 150.0.7871.47, indicating the installed version is within the affected range
  3. Confirm Windows platform
    Run 'winver' or check system properties to confirm the operating system is Windows
    Affected if The system is running Windows; this CVE only affects Chrome on Windows platforms prior to version 150.0.7871.47
  4. Understand exploit prerequisites
    This vulnerability requires a compromised renderer process, which is not a configurable condition. The DataTransfer API is a standard browser API enabled by default in Chrome and cannot be disabled through user settings.
    Affected if N/A - the API is always enabled; the vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation in Chrome's handling of DataTransfer API operations when a renderer process is compromised

If Google Chrome version 150.0.7871.47 or later is installed on Windows, the environment is not affected by this CVE.
