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 installed Google Chrome versionOpen Chrome, click the three-dot menu (top right), select 'Help', then 'About Google Chrome'. The version number is displayed on this page. Alternatively, navigate to chrome://settings/help in the address bar.Affected if The displayed version is lower than 150.0.7871.115 (for example, 150.0.7871.114 or any earlier version)
-
Confirm IndexedDB is in useIndexedDB is enabled by default in Google Chrome and cannot be easily disabled by end users. No manual check is needed for standard Chrome installations.Affected if IndexedDB is enabled (default state) - this is true for virtually all Chrome installations
-
Assess exposure to untrusted web contentConsider whether the Chrome browser is used to browse arbitrary websites or open HTML files from untrusted sources. This vulnerability is triggerable remotely via a specially crafted webpage.Affected if Users can open or browse untrusted HTML pages or websites using the affected Chrome installation
If Google Chrome version is below 150.0.7871.115 and the browser can access untrusted web content, the environment is affected by this use-after-free vulnerability in IndexedDB.
