Uninitialized Use in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Dawn WebGPU component (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables remote attackers to read cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page that triggers uninitialized memory use (CWE-457). Exploitation requires the victim to visit an attacker-controlled page but demands no authentication and operates against default Chrome configurations. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score of 0.23% (14th percentile) reflects a currently low exploitation likelihood, consistent with Chromium's own Medium severity rating.

Technical ContextAI

Dawn is Chromium's cross-platform WebGPU graphics abstraction layer, responsible for translating WebGPU API calls into native GPU commands (via Metal, Vulkan, or D3D12). CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable) arises when allocated memory buffers are consumed before being zeroed or explicitly set, potentially exposing residual heap or stack contents from earlier allocations. In this context, a crafted HTML page can cause Dawn to process a WebGPU operation that reads uninitialized memory whose contents originate from a different browser origin, violating the Same-Origin Policy and constituting an information disclosure channel. The affected scope per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome builds prior to 151.0.7922.72 across platforms.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism handles this for consumer installations; enterprise administrators should validate deployment status via chrome://settings/help or their endpoint management tooling. If immediate patching is blocked, restricting end-user access to untrusted or unknown web origins via network proxy policy or browser extension controls reduces exposure to the crafted-page delivery vector, though this is not a full mitigation and carries usability trade-offs. Disabling WebGPU entirely via enterprise policy (--disable-webgpu flag or corresponding GPUEnabled policy) would eliminate the Dawn attack surface but also breaks WebGPU-dependent web applications.
