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. Check installed Chrome version
    Navigate to chrome://version or click Help > About Google Chrome to view the installed version number
    Affected if Version is below 146.0.7680.164
  2. Check GPU process status
    Open chrome://gpu and review the GPU info section to confirm WebGL implementation is active
    Affected if WebGL shows as hardware accelerated or enabled in the GPU features list

You are affected if Chrome version is less than 146.0.7680.164 AND WebGL is enabled in your browser settings.
