CVE-2015-1304
Description
A flaw was found in the V8 engine in chromium-browser. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted web page running malicious JavaScript code. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass the Same-Origin Policy (SOP), a core browser security mechanism that isolates websites from one another. This may result in unauthorized access to sensitive cross-origin data and allow unauthorized actions within the user's browser session.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
