Patch
CVE-2023-26156
with vRx
Introduction
Versions of the package chromedriver before 119.0.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection when setting the chromedriver.path to an arbitrary system binary. This could lead to unauthorized access and potentially malicious actions on the host system.
Note: An attacker must have access to the system running the vulnerable chromedriver library to exploit it. The success of exploitation also depends on the permissions and privileges of the process running chromedriver.
Reference: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-hm92-vgmw-qfmx
Important Note: To exploit the vulnerable targets, an attacker needs local access to the machine.
Mitigation

At the time of this writing, the latest version for this package was 127.0.2, so it is advised to upgrade to this version, to stay up-to-date with any emerging threats.
