Title

The version of Google Chrome running on the system must be a supported version.

Control

Universal method: 1. In the omnibox (address bar) type chrome://settings/help 2. Cross-reference the build information displayed with the Google Chrome site to identify, at minimum, the oldest supported build available. As of July 2019, this is 74.x.x. 3. If the installed version of Chrome is not supported by Google, this is a finding.

Discussion

Google Chrome is being continually updated by the vendor in order to address identified security vulnerabilities. Running an older version of the browser can introduce security vulnerabilities to the system.
