DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in DevTools in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Process memory disclosure in Google Chrome DevTools on Windows (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) allows a remote attacker to read potentially sensitive data from browser process memory by serving a crafted HTML page and convincing a user to perform specific UI gestures. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) within the DevTools subsystem and is limited to the Windows platform. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Host crafted HTML page on attacker infrastructure
Delivery
Phish or redirect victim to page
Exploit
Social-engineer victim into specific UI gestures (e.g., open DevTools)
Execution
Insufficient validation triggered in DevTools subsystem
Persist
Sensitive process memory contents returned to page context
Impact
Attacker retrieves exfiltrated memory data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the victim must be running Google Chrome on Windows (macOS/Linux are not affected); (2) the victim must visit an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page; and (3) the victim must perform 'specific UI gestures' as described in the NVD entry - passive page loading alone is insufficient, meaning the attacker must also socially engineer the user into deliberate interaction, likely involving DevTools activation or manipulation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 5.3 (Medium), reflecting a meaningful tension between signals: the Confidentiality impact is rated High (process memory access can expose tokens, credentials, or PII), but exploitation is substantially gated by AC:H (high complexity) and UI:R (required user interaction). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page designed to manipulate Chrome DevTools input processing on Windows, then lures a victim (e.g., via phishing or a malicious link) to visit the page and perform specific UI gestures - most likely opening DevTools or interacting with a DevTools panel while the crafted content is loaded. Upon triggering the insufficient validation flaw, the attacker's page receives fragments of browser process memory, potentially containing session tokens, credentials, or cached sensitive data. …
Remediation The primary fix is to update Google Chrome on Windows to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, available through Chrome's built-in update mechanism (Settings → Help → About Google Chrome) or via enterprise deployment tools. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
