Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a missing authorization issue in the CredentialProvider component of Google Chrome on Windows. It allows a local attacker with physical access to a device to obtain sensitive information without proper authentication.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability requires physical access to exploit, so detection primarily involves checking Chrome version and ensuring no unauthorized access to credential storage. Verify Chrome version with: chrome://version/. If version is below 155.0.8059.39, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If someone gains physical access to your device, they could exploit this flaw to retrieve sensitive data stored or managed by Chrome, such as saved passwords or credentials.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal or sensitive data, potentially violating GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health information privacy) requirements if such data is compromised.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later immediately. Enable automatic updates if not already configured. Restrict physical access to systems until the update is applied.
