CVE-2015-1266: Google Chrome

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

content/browser/webui/content_web_ui_controller_factory.cc in Google Chrome before 43.0.2357.130 does not properly consider the scheme in determining whether a URL is associated with a WebUI SiteInstance, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a similar URL, as demonstrated by use of http://gpu when there is a WebUI class for handling chrome://gpu requests.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: up to and including 43.0.2357.81
