DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in Media in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory disclosure in Google Chrome's Media component on Windows exposes process memory to attackers who have already achieved renderer process compromise. Versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Exploit separate Chrome renderer vulnerability
Delivery
Achieve renderer process code execution
Exploit
Deliver crafted HTML page triggering uninitialized Media read
Execution
Access stale process memory contents
Impact
Exfiltrate sensitive in-memory data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation strictly requires that the attacker has already compromised the Chrome renderer process via a separate, independent vulnerability - this is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) scores 6.5 and rates attack complexity as Low, but this conflicts materially with the description's explicit prerequisite of prior renderer process compromise - a high-complexity, multi-step precondition that AC:L does not capture. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate renderer vulnerability in Chrome on Windows to achieve code execution within the sandboxed renderer process. From that position, they cause the renderer to load a crafted HTML page that triggers the uninitialized Media component path, reading stale heap data into an accessible buffer. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
