Network-delivered UXSS requires only victim page visit (PR:N, UI:R); cross-origin script injection justifies S:C; C:L/I:L reflect limited but real cross-origin data access and manipulation.

DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in Network 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 Network component allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML across same-origin policy boundaries via a crafted HTML page, affecting all Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. Unlike application-level XSS, UXSS exploits a flaw in the browser engine itself, enabling cross-origin script execution that bypasses website-level security controls. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker hosts crafted HTML page
Delivery
Victim clicks phishing link or encounters malicious ad
Exploit
Unpatched Chrome loads page and mishandles network request
Execution
UXSS payload injected across origin boundary
Persist
Attacker script executes in victim's browser context of targeted origin
Impact
Session tokens or page data exfiltrated

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively navigate to or load attacker-controlled HTML content in an unpatched Chrome browser prior to version 151.0.7922.72 - this is the UI:R (user interaction required) condition encoded in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.1 Medium score reflects a network-accessible, no-privilege, user-interaction-required attack with limited confidentiality and integrity impact but a scope change. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page that triggers the inappropriate network handling in Chrome, causing it to inject attacker-controlled script into the context of a different origin - for example, a banking or identity provider site already open in the victim's browser. The victim is lured to the attacker's page via phishing, a malicious ad, or a compromised site, and upon page load the UXSS payload executes silently, potentially harvesting session tokens or performing actions on the victim's behalf on targeted origins. …
Remediation 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. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
