CVE-2023-7281Network attack vector

UI spoofing

Published Sep 23, 2024 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

UI spoofing in Google Chrome before 119.0.6045.105 allows remote attackers to misrepresent browser UI via a crafted HTML page. Google identifies the affected locus only as Compositing and has not published the incorrect operation performed on page-controlled input. Exploitation requires a user to open attacker-controlled HTML; the resulting false browser interface can mislead that user but does not directly read or modify data.
