Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 and to be socially engineered into opening an attacker-crafted HTML page, which then abuses the Autofill feature's missing authorization check to read sensitive autofill data. Key limiting factors: mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and reliance on social engineering mean this cannot be triggered silently or at scale; SSVC marks it Automatable=no and Technical Impact=partial, and the browser must still have autofill data populated for sensitive information to be exposed.

Impact

Real-world risk is MODERATE and lower than the headline CVSS 8.8 suggests. Multiple signals conflict and should be reconciled before prioritization. The provided CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) encodes HIGH confidentiality, integrity AND availability impact, but the description only states an attacker can 'obtain sensitive information' - a confidentiality-only outcome - and Google itself rated this 'Chromium security severity: Medium.' The I:H and A:H metrics therefore appear inflated relative to the described impact; this is a likely over-scoring and should be verified against the Chromium issue tracker. All exploitation-maturity signals point LOW: SSVC reports Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, and Technical Impact=partial, and there is no KEV listing and no POC provided, so this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. No EPSS score was supplied, so statistical exploitation probability cannot be weighed. Net: this is a patch-on-normal-cycle browser flaw requiring user interaction and social engineering, not an emergency - the high CVSS is driven by questionable impact metrics rather than demonstrated real-world threat.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page and lures a victim (via phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised site) into visiting it with Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39. Through the Autofill authorization flaw, the page tricks the browser into disclosing sensitive autofill data (e.g., saved form/profile information) to the attacker. User interaction is required (UI:R) and no public exploit code is known at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Google Chrome builds prior to 155.0.8059.39 contain a missing authorization check in the Autofill component that allows a remote attacker to read sensitive information in the browser's stored autofill data. Exploitation is not silent: it requires the victim to be socially engineered into opening an attacker-crafted HTML page (CVSS UI:R, PR:N), and the SSVC assessment records Exploitation=none and Automatable=no, meaning this cannot be triggered at scale or without user action. Our independent assessment rates the impact as confidentiality-only (C:H/I:N/A:N), so real-world risk is MODERATE and meaningfully lower than the headline CVSS 8.8 suggests; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, though a vendor patch is available.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later, which is the vendor-released patch documented in the Chrome stable-channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html); the fix corresponds to Chromium issue 501805355. Because Chrome auto-updates, the primary action for most organizations is to confirm the installed version via chrome://settings/help (or a managed-software inventory query) and force a relaunch so the pending update applies, then verify the reported version is 155.0.8059.39 or higher. For environments that cannot patch immediately, reduce exposure by disabling or suppressing autofill for sensitive field types in policy (AutofillAddressEnabled / AutofillCreditCardEnabled-type enterprise policies) and by clearing previously saved autofill profiles, accepting the usability trade-off of users retyping form data. Additional compensating controls include blocking untrusted and newly registered domains that are the typical lure for the required social-engineering step and tuning phishing/user-awareness controls, but note that no configuration setting fully eliminates the missing-authorization condition itself - only the patched build does. Given that no public exploit code has been identified and SSVC records Exploitation=none and Automatable=no, emergency out-of-band remediation is not warranted, though standard patch-cycle priority should be elevated for users with substantial saved autofill data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected subsystem is Chrome's Autofill feature, the browser component that stores and injects saved form data (names, addresses, contact details, and related profile fields) into web pages. The root cause is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): an operation that should have been gated by a permission/authorization check can be reached without one, so a crafted HTML page can cause autofill data to be surfaced to content that should not have access to it. Within Chromium's architecture this is a browser-process/Blink-level authorization gap rather than a memory-corruption bug, which is consistent with the Chromium team's own rating of Medium severity and with a pure information-disclosure (confidentiality-only) outcome. A successful attack depends on the browser having autofill entries populated and on the user being induced to visit the malicious page, so the exposure is bounded by what the victim had previously saved. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, i.e. all Google Chrome releases before the fixed build; the EUVD record (EUVD-2026-93683) lists the affected range as Chrome before 155.0.8059.39. The vulnerability type maps to CWE-862 and is tagged Authentication Bypass / Google in the source metadata.

Missing authorization in Autofill in Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 contain a vulnerability in the Autofill component that could allow an attacker to access stored personal data. This affects any organization using unpatched Chrome, potentially leading to confidentiality breaches and reputational damage, though exploitation requires user interaction and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. A vendor-released patch (155.0.8059.39) is available, and leadership should prioritize updating affected systems to mitigate risk.
