Detailed Description |
The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.0.154.59. Such versions are reportedly affected by an issue when handling URLs with a 'chromehtml:' protocol which could allow an attacker to run scripts of his choosing on any page or enumerate files on the local disk.
If a user has Google Chrome installed, visiting an attacker-controlled web page in another browser could cause Google Chrome to launch, open multiple tabs, and load scripts that run after navigating to a URL of the attacker's choice.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
