### Workarounds

- Until patching is complete, limit browsing to trusted sites and consider restricting access to untrusted web content on high-value systems. This is general guidance, not a vendor-specified mitigation.
## Detection
- Indicators of compromise: None provided in the advisory.
- Detection methods and tools:
- Check the installed Chrome version (`chrome://settings/help` in the browser, or endpoint management tooling).
- Use software inventory or endpoint management (for example, MDM or patch management) to identify systems running versions below the fixed builds.
- Review the CVE entries in the Chrome Releases post to determine whether additional detection guidance applies.
