DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient policy enforcement in DirectSockets in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Insufficient policy enforcement in DirectSockets API in Google Chrome prior to version 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers to perform arbitrary read and write operations through a crafted malicious Chrome extension. The vulnerability requires user interaction (extension installation) but affects the core security model of the browser's socket access control, exposing local network resources to unauthorized access by untrusted extensions.

Technical ContextAI

DirectSockets is a Chrome API that provides direct network socket access to extensions, bypassing certain network security restrictions. The vulnerability stems from inadequate input validation and policy enforcement (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation) in how Chrome validates and restricts socket operations initiated by extensions. Without proper policy checks, a malicious extension can craft socket requests that read from or write to arbitrary network destinations, potentially accessing sensitive local services, IoT devices, or internal network resources that should be protected by browser sandboxing and security policies.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 148.0.7778.96 and later. Users must update Chrome to version 148.0.7778.96 or higher to receive the policy enforcement fix. Automatic updates are enabled by default in Chrome; users can manually verify their version via chrome://settings/help and trigger updates if necessary. Pending patch deployment, organizations should restrict Chrome extension installation policies to curated allowlists via Chrome enterprise policies (chrome.management API controls and ExtensionInstallAllowlist), limit extension permissions to only those required for legitimate use, and educate users to avoid installing extensions from untrusted sources. Administrators can deploy Chrome updates via centralized device management platforms. The patched version includes corrected policy validation logic in the DirectSockets implementation, preventing extensions from crafting unauthorized socket operations.
