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. Confirm operating system is macOS
    Run 'uname -s' in terminal or check System Settings > About to verify the OS is Darwin/macOS. This vulnerability only affects Chrome on Mac, not other platforms.
    Affected if The system is running macOS - if running Windows, Linux, or Chrome OS, this CVE does not apply.
  2. Verify Google Chrome is installed
    Run 'ls /Applications/Google Chrome.app' in terminal or check the Applications folder for Google Chrome. Alternatively, run 'chromium --version' or 'google-chrome --version' if available.
    Affected if Google Chrome is not installed - if the browser is not present, the system is not affected.
  3. Check installed Chrome version on Mac
    Open Google Chrome, click Chrome menu > About Google Chrome. Alternatively, run '/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version' in terminal.
    Affected if Unable to determine version - if Chrome cannot be queried for its version, the check is inconclusive.
  4. Compare version against affected range
    Compare the installed version number to 145.0.7632.116 (the lower of the two affected versions). Versions below this number are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 145.0.7632.116 - for example, 145.0.7632.115, 144.x.x.x, or any earlier version indicates the system is affected by this vulnerability.

The system is affected if running Google Chrome on macOS with a version number lower than 145.0.7632.116.
