Disk information disclosure via undisclosed DevTools flaw
Published May 21, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome DevTools before 83.0.4103.61 allows remote attackers to read sensitive disk data via crafted HTML. Google's public advisory identifies the DevTools component but does not disclose the faulty operation performed on page-controlled input. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted page and take attacker-directed actions in DevTools; the reported consequence is disk-data disclosure only.
