Google Chrome before 24.0.1312.52 on Mac OS X does not use an appropriate sandboxing approach for worker processes, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome for Mac OS X sandbox weakness. A malicious remote actor could have had an easier path to bypass intended access restrictions in worker processes. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, exploit detail, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is mainly legacy Mac OS X systems running Google Chrome before 24.0.1312.52. Modern supported Chrome deployments are unlikely to be exposed, but the source bundle provides no CPEs or broader affected-product inventory. Handle as legacy hygiene unless old Mac OS X Chrome installations remain in production. The business risk rises where unsupported browsers are still used for email, web browsing, or administrative access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome on Mac OS X to 24.0.1312.52 or later.; Remove or isolate unsupported legacy Chrome installations.; Check Google or Chromium guidance for any remaining vendor-specific remediation details..
