DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS) in Google Chrome's Extensions subsystem, affecting all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72, allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML into the browser context by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The inappropriate implementation in the Extensions component bypasses Chrome's normal script isolation boundaries, potentially enabling cross-origin script execution characteristic of UXSS class flaws. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML page
Delivery
Hosts page on attacker-controlled or compromised site
Exploit
Victim opens link in vulnerable Chrome
Execution
Chrome Extensions subsystem processes crafted content
Persist
Arbitrary script or HTML injected into browser context
Impact
Attacker executes UXSS payload, steals data or manipulates page

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must deliver a specially crafted HTML page to a victim running Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 (CVSS PR:N confirms no attacker authentication is required). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 5.4 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects a moderate base risk: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges required, but dependent on user interaction and scored with unchanged scope. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page containing malicious content designed to trigger the inappropriate extension handling behavior in Chrome's Extensions subsystem. A targeted user is socially engineered into visiting the page - via phishing link, malvertising, or embedded iframe - causing Chrome to process the page through the vulnerable extension code path and execute attacker-controlled scripts or inject HTML in the browser context. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, the vendor-confirmed patched release documented at the Chrome Releases stable channel advisory (chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
