Argument injection vulnerability in the chromehtml: protocol handler in Google Chrome before 1.0.154.59, when invoked by Internet Explorer, allows remote attackers to determine the existence of files, and open tabs for URLs that do not satisfy the IsWebSafeScheme restriction, via a web page that sets document.location to a chromehtml: value, as demonstrated by use of a (1) javascript: or (2) data: URL. NOTE: this can be leveraged for Universal XSS by exploiting certain behavior involving persistence across page transitions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-1412 affected early Google Chrome versions before 1.0.154.59. A malicious web page opened from Internet Explorer could invoke Chrome’s chromehtml: handler in a way that bypassed URL safety checks, potentially exposing file existence and enabling Universal XSS behavior. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Windows environments running Google Chrome earlier than 1.0.154.59 and using Internet Explorer paths that can invoke the chromehtml: protocol handler. Treat as a legacy-browser hygiene issue unless obsolete Chrome and Internet Explorer remain in the environment. Prioritize removal or upgrade of affected endpoints. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Google Chrome to version 1.0.154.59 or later.; Confirm legacy systems are not using affected Chrome builds.; Review vendor advisory and release notes for deployment guidance..
