Overview

CVE-2020-6414 is a security vulnerability discovered in Google Chrome's Safe Browsing feature prior to version 80.0.3987.87. The vulnerability was disclosed on February 11, 2020, and affects the browser's navigation restrictions implementation. The issue stems from insufficient policy enforcement in the Safe Browsing component, which could allow a remote attacker to bypass navigation restrictions through a specially crafted HTML page (NVD, Chrome Release).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. This indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction. The potential impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability, all with high severity (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to bypass navigation restrictions in Google Chrome's Safe Browsing feature. This bypass could potentially lead to users being exposed to malicious content that would normally be blocked by the browser's security mechanisms (Debian Security).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability was patched in Google Chrome version 80.0.3987.87. Users and administrators are strongly advised to upgrade to this version or later. Multiple Linux distributions have also released security updates to address this vulnerability, including Debian (version 80.0.3987.132-1~deb10u1), Fedora, and OpenSUSE (Debian Security, Gentoo Security).
