CVE-2018-6101 describes a host validation flaw in Google Chrome's DevTools, affecting versions prior to 66.0.3359.117, as well as Debian and Red Hat distributions. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code through a crafted HTML page, but only if the user is running a remote DevTools debugging server, making the attack complexity high and requiring user interaction. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog, with minimal community discussion and media coverage.
