Out-of-sandbox code execution in Chrome Command before 156.0.8078.73
Improper input validation in Google Chrome's Command component lets a remote attacker who serves a crafted HTML page potentially run arbitrary code outside the sandbox. The victim must open that page. Chrome versions before 156.0.8078.73 are affected.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to 156.0.8078.73 or later.
