Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to actively install a malicious Chrome Extension authored by the attacker - this is confirmed by the description ('convinced a user to install a malicious extension') and the CVSS UI:R metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 score is driven primarily by the C:H (High confidentiality) impact reflecting that process memory can hold highly sensitive artifacts such as authentication tokens, passwords autofilled by the browser, or decrypted page content. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker builds a Chrome extension that appears legitimate - for example, a productivity tool or ad-blocker - and hosts it on a third-party site or sends a targeted phishing link to install it outside the Chrome Web Store. Once the victim installs and runs the extension, it invokes DevTools APIs through the insufficiently enforced policy boundary to scan the Chrome process memory, extracting session cookies, OAuth tokens, or page content from authenticated sessions the user currently has open. … |
| Remediation | Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Google Chrome Stable Channel advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
