Google Chrome before 15.0.874.120, when Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 is used, does not request user confirmation before applet execution begins, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a crafted applet.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
