NVD · uneditedSide-channel information leakage in WebAudio in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
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 confidenceSide-channel information leakage in Google Chrome's WebAudio API allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability exploited timing or behavioral differences in WebAudio processing to bypass same-origin policy protections.

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 Chrome version in browserOpen chrome://version in the Chrome address bar and note the version number listed under 'Google Chrome'Affected if The displayed version number is less than 150.0.7871.46
