CVE-2024-7004Network attack vector

User-assisted access-control bypass via malicious file

Published Aug 6, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024

Improper input validation in Google Chrome before 127.0.6533.72 allows remote attackers to bypass access controls via a malicious file. The flaw is in Safe Browsing's handling of untrusted file input, but the restricted Chromium issue does not disclose the specific validation operation that fails. Exploitation requires persuading a user to perform specific UI gestures, and the demonstrated consequence is limited to an access-control bypass.
