Insufficient data validation in NetworkCache in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's NetworkCache component affects all desktop versions prior to 150.0.7871.47, enabling remote attackers to read sensitive cached data belonging to other origins. Exploitation requires a victim to visit a specially crafted HTML page, placing this squarely in the browser-based phishing and malvertising threat model. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; an EPSS score of 0.17% (7th percentile) and Chromium's own Low severity classification indicate low immediate exploitation probability despite the Medium CVSS base score.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's NetworkCache subsystem - the component responsible for storing and replaying HTTP responses to accelerate page loads and reduce redundant network requests. CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) indicates the cache does not adequately validate data before making it accessible to requesting browsing contexts, which creates a cross-origin information leak: a security model violation where content fetched on behalf of one origin (e.g., a banking site) becomes readable by a different, attacker-controlled origin. The affected product is Google Chrome (Chromium-based) on desktop, versions prior to 150.0.7871.47, as confirmed by the EUVD entry EUVD-2026-40787 and the Google Chrome Releases advisory.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch addressing this vulnerability; the stable channel advisory is published at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism should apply this patch automatically for most users; administrators managing enterprise deployments via Google Chrome Browser Cloud Management or group policy should verify rollout completion. As a compensating control prior to patching, deploying web filtering or DNS-based blocking of known phishing and malvertising infrastructure reduces the likelihood of users reaching a crafted exploitation page, though this does not address the underlying cache validation flaw. Enabling Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing mode provides additional pre-visit URL checks and may intercept crafted pages before they load.
