CVE-2020-6481 is a security vulnerability discovered in Google Chrome prior to version 83.0.4103.61, reported by Rayyan Bijoora on April 7, 2020. The vulnerability stems from insufficient policy enforcement in URL formatting that allowed a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing via a crafted domain name (Chrome Release, NVD).

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.5 (Medium), with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N. This indicates that the vulnerability is network-exploitable, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction. The scope is unchanged, with no impact on confidentiality, high impact on integrity, and no impact on availability (NVD).

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing through a crafted domain name, potentially misleading users about the authenticity of websites they visit. This could lead to phishing attacks or other forms of web-based deception (NVD).

The vulnerability requires user interaction and can be exploited remotely through network access. The attack complexity is considered low, meaning it does not require significant resources or specialized conditions to exploit (NVD).

The vulnerability was fixed in Google Chrome version 83.0.4103.61. Users and administrators should upgrade to this version or later to mitigate the risk. The fix has been incorporated into various Linux distributions including Debian, Fedora, and Gentoo through their respective security updates (Debian Security, Gentoo Security).
