CVE-2017-5102

18
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-5102 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome (prior to version 60.0.3112.78) affecting Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android, stemming from the use of an uninitialized value in Skia. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information from process memory. The attack complexity is low, requiring user interaction, but the impact is limited to confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploits in Metasploit or ExploitDB, though it has garnered some community discussion and media coverage.
