Man-in-the-middle interception from privileged network position
Published Jul 28, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Inappropriate implementation in the Omnibox in Google Chrome before 99.0.4844.51 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to intercept traffic. Google has not published the incorrect Omnibox operation or its handling of attacker-controlled network data. Exploitation requires a privileged network position and user interaction, and the published impact is limited to reading or modifying browser traffic.
