CVE-2015-1298: Google Chrome

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The RuntimeEventRouter::OnExtensionUninstalled function in extensions/browser/api/runtime/runtime_api.cc in Google Chrome before 45.0.2454.85 does not ensure that the setUninstallURL preference corresponds to the URL of a web site, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to trigger access to an arbitrary URL via a crafted extension that is uninstalled.

Affected products

• Google Chrome: up to and including 44.0.2403
