Threat Report 4/18/24
A Vulnerability in Google Chrome
Could Allow for Remote Code Execution
     

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Google Chrome, which could allow for remote code execution. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution in the context of the logged-on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.


Affected Systems:

  • Chrome versions prior to 124.0.6367.60/.61 for Windows and Mac 

  • Chrome versions prior to 124.0.6367.60 for Linux

Risk

  • Large and medium business entities: High
  • Small business entities: Medium

 

Remediation Recommendations

  • Ensure all devices with Google Chrome have the latest version installed.
  • Enact the Principle of Least Privilege (limit higher-level privileges to only the users that need it)
