DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in Passwords in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Passwords component (all versions prior to 149.0.7827.155) enables a remote attacker to extract sensitive cross-origin information by engineering a scenario where a victim performs specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page. The flaw is an inappropriate implementation in the browser's password-related UI surface that fails to enforce cross-origin isolation boundaries under manipulated gesture sequences (CWE-451). No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; EPSS probability stands at 0.27% (19th percentile) and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, collectively indicating low real-world exploitation urgency despite Chrome's massive deployment footprint.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the Passwords component of Google Chrome desktop (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), affecting all stable channel releases prior to 149.0.7827.155. CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) identifies the root cause class: the browser's password autofill or suggestion overlay logic fails to correctly enforce Same-Origin Policy boundaries when specific user gesture sequences are triggered by attacker-crafted HTML. This class of vulnerability typically manifests when UI components that handle privileged credential data can be coaxed by adversarial page content into surfacing or leaking data belonging to a different origin, bypassing the isolation guarantees users rely on. The Chromium issue tracker reference (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/517258337) likely contains additional technical specifics but may be access-restricted pending broader patch adoption.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.155 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch addressing this vulnerability. Chrome's stable channel update details are documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html. Chrome typically auto-updates for consumer users; enterprise administrators managing deployments via policy (e.g., Google Admin Console or Chromium-based managed browsers) should verify version propagation and enforce the minimum version via browser policy. If immediate patching is operationally infeasible, disabling Chrome's built-in password manager at chrome://settings/passwords removes the vulnerable Passwords UI surface as a compensating control, though this eliminates autofill functionality and requires users to manage credentials through an alternative means. Additionally, restricting end-user navigation to untrusted or externally hosted HTML pages via web content filtering can reduce exposure surface, but does not address the underlying flaw and should not substitute for patching.
