This flaw, rated CWE-20 and CWE-908, allows the attacker to leak arbitrary memory contents, potentially exposing sensitive data. The vulnerability is classified as high severity based on its CVSS score.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome for Windows users with versions earlier than 156.0.8078.47 are affected. All other platforms and newer Chrome releases are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability
