CVE-2022-2160Network attack vector

Local-file disclosure via DevTools policy failure

Published Jul 28, 2022 · Updated Jun 2, 2026

Insufficient policy enforcement in Google Chrome DevTools before 103.0.5060.53 allows attackers to read sensitive local files on Windows. Public vendor material identifies DevTools as the affected locus but does not disclose the failed policy check, code path, or improper operation. Exploitation requires a user to install a malicious extension and interact with a crafted HTML page; the reported consequence is local-file disclosure only.
