CVE-2024-10229
CVE-2024-10229 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting Google Chrome. This inappropriate implementation in Extensions allows a remote attacker to bypass site isolation using a specially crafted Chrome Extension. Although the CVSS score is 8.1, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 77, indicating a significant risk close to critical. While not exceeding the SVRS threshold of 80 for immediate action, the "In The Wild" tag suggests active exploitation, increasing the urgency. Successful exploitation allows attackers to potentially access sensitive data and compromise user systems. This CVE is significant because it weakens Chrome's security architecture and highlights the risks associated with browser extensions.
