CVE-2018-6095

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-6095 describes a vulnerability in Google Chrome versions prior to 66.0.3359.117, specifically within its Blink rendering engine, affecting products like Debian and Red Hat. This medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) allowed a remote attacker to read local files by tricking a user into interacting with a crafted HTML page, leveraging an inappropriate dismissal of the file picker on keyboard events. While the potential impact is high for confidentiality, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
