DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Actor in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Actor component (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to exfiltrate sensitive cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. This is a secondary-stage information disclosure primitive - it requires both user interaction and a pre-compromised renderer, making it a chained exploit component rather than a standalone entry point. …

Bypass cross-origin input validation
Impact
Leak cross-origin data to attacker-controlled renderer

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two explicit preconditions: (1) the victim must visit or be redirected to a crafted HTML page (user interaction required, per UI:R in the CVSS vector), and (2) the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process through a separate, independent vulnerability - this prerequisite is explicitly stated in the CVE description and is the primary limiting factor on real-world exploitability. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) correctly reflects limited impact: C:L (partial confidentiality breach), I:N, A:N, with UI:R requiring user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has already achieved renderer process compromise in Chrome - through a separate, chained renderer vulnerability - directs the victim to a specially crafted HTML page. The page triggers the flawed Actor component with malicious untrusted input that bypasses cross-origin validation, leaking sensitive data (such as authentication tokens or page content from another origin loaded in the browser) back to the attacker-controlled renderer context. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
