CVE-2018-6159

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-6159 describes an insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability in Google Chrome versions prior to 68.0.3440.75, specifically within the ServiceWorker component. This flaw allows a remote attacker, via a crafted HTML page, to potentially extract sensitive information from the browser's process memory. With a CVSS score of 6.5 (MEDIUM), it requires user interaction (UI:R) but can be exploited over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), leading to a high confidentiality impact (C:H). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage beyond a single article.
