DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect security UI in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Incorrect security UI in Google Chrome's Extensions subsystem prior to version 150.0.7871.47 enables Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS), allowing script or HTML injection across web origins via a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires that the victim user be socially engineered into installing a malicious extension, after which a crafted page triggers the CWE-79 flaw in the Extensions UI. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to have already installed a malicious Chrome extension, which itself requires active social engineering or compromise of an extension distribution channel - this is the primary limiting factor and the source of the AC:H rating. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Despite the UXSS class of impact being technically significant, the aggregate risk signals for this vulnerability are consistently low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker publishes a malicious Chrome extension - potentially disguised as a productivity tool or hosted on a third-party site - and crafts a phishing campaign to convince a target user to install it. After installation, the attacker serves the victim a specially crafted HTML page that triggers the incorrect Extensions security UI behavior, injecting arbitrary scripts that execute across web origins the victim subsequently visits, enabling session token theft or content manipulation. …
Remediation The primary fix is to update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch as documented in the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
