MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-crafted HTML page in a vulnerable Chrome build prior to 155.0.8059.84 (UI:R, user interaction) - it is not wormable or drive-by against a passive target without a page load. No authentication is required (PR:N, unauthenticated remote attacker). The flaw resides in Chrome's Core component and affects default configurations, so no special feature or non-default setting is needed; the primary limiting factor is the mandatory user interaction and the read-only confidentiality impact (no code execution, data modification, or availability loss is claimed). |
| Impact | This is a genuine but lower-tier priority vulnerability. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) scores 4.3 (Medium) because, despite a network attack vector and no privileges required, the impact is limited to partial confidentiality (memory read only - C:L, I:N, A:N) and exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R), i.e. the victim must open a crafted HTML page. Note a divergence in severity signals: Chromium labels this 'High' severity internally, whereas the CVSS base score is only Medium - the internal rating reflects memory-corruption class and exploit potential, while CVSS reflects the confirmed partial read-only impact. Exploitation signals are consistently low: SSVC reports Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial; there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The absence of EPSS data in the input means exploitation probability cannot be quantified here. Net: a vendor-confirmed, patched information-disclosure flaw in an ubiquitous product - worth prompt patching due to Chrome's deployment footprint, but not an emergency given read-only impact, required user interaction, and no evidence of exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts or injects a maliciously crafted HTML page and lures a victim into visiting it (e.g. via phishing link or malvertising). When the page is rendered by a vulnerable Chrome build (prior to 155.0.8059.84), the memory-corruption flaw in the Core component is triggered, allowing the attacker to read out-of-bounds process memory, potentially leaking sensitive in-memory data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Memory corruption in Google Chrome before 155.0.8059.84 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to read memory from the browser process when a victim opens a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and results in only low confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability loss; CISA SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' and the issue is not automatable. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor patch (155.0.8059.84) is available.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.84 or later. Apply the vendor patch from the Chrome Releases blog (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01886704284.html) and ensure the browser is restarted. For enterprises, enforce auto-updates via Chrome Browser Cloud Management or equivalent policies. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict browsing to trusted sites and avoid opening untrusted HTML pages; disabling JavaScript may help but breaks many web applications, and using a separate, up-to-date browser for untrusted content reduces exposure. Given the read-only confidentiality impact and required user interaction, this is a lower-tier priority, but timely patching is still recommended.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an out-of-bounds memory access (CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) in Google Chrome's Core component, which handles fundamental browser operations. A crafted HTML page triggers the memory corruption, allowing an attacker to read process memory that may contain sensitive data. The vulnerability affects default configurations of Chrome, so no special features or non-default settings are required. With CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, the attack is network-based and unauthenticated but requires the victim to load the page; the impact is limited to confidentiality with no code execution or data modification. Chromium's internal severity rating is High, but the SSVC assessment notes no exploitation, not automatable, and partial technical impact.
