-
Verify Google Chrome is installed on WindowsCheck for Google Chrome installation by looking for chrome.exe in common locations: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. Use PowerShell command: Test-Path 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'Affected if Chrome is not installed on the system
-
Determine installed Google Chrome versionLaunch Chrome, navigate to chrome://settings/help, or use PowerShell: (Get-Item 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe').VersionInfo.ProductVersionAffected if Cannot determine the installed version
-
Compare installed version against affected rangeCompare the detected version number to 150.0.7871.47. Any version less than 150.0.7871.47 is affected (e.g., 150.0.7871.40, 149.0.2623.112, etc.)Affected if Installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47
-
Confirm Windows operating systemVerify the system is running Windows. Run 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name"' or check system properties. This vulnerability only affects Chrome on Windows, not macOS or LinuxAffected if System is not running Windows (vulnerability does not apply to other operating systems)
User is affected if Google Chrome is installed on Windows with a version lower than 150.0.7871.47

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped150.0.7871.47
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later on all Windows systems. Users should avoid engaging with untrusted UI gestures from unknown sources.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or later
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to Settings > Help > About Google Chrome
- Verify the current version is 150.0.7871.47 or later. If an earlier version is shown, Chrome will automatically check for updates and prompt you to restart to complete the update.
- Alternatively, download the latest Chrome version from the official Google Chrome website to ensure you have version 150.0.7871.47 or newer.
