CVE-2018-6125Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Sensitive-information disclosure via unrestricted WebUSB device access

Published Nov 2, 2021 · Updated Aug 5, 2024

Insufficient WebUSB policy enforcement in Google Chrome before 67.0.3396.62 on Windows allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. WebUSB permits an approved site to claim protected HID interfaces and send requests directly to attached USB authenticators, bypassing the browser's origin check. Exploitation requires the user to approve device access; U2F abuse also requires touching the authenticator and can produce a fraudulent signature.
