DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed an attacker on the local network segment to leak cross-origin data via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Cast subsystem (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows unauthenticated attackers on the same local network segment to extract sensitive cross-origin browser data via crafted network traffic. The insufficient input validation in the Cast component bypasses browser isolation boundaries, exposing data from origins the victim is actively browsing. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be on the same local network segment as the target Chrome user (AV:A) - this is the primary limiting condition. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.3 (Medium) rating is well-calibrated for this issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker connected to the same Wi-Fi network or LAN segment as a Chrome user - for example, on a shared corporate guest network or public hotspot - crafts and transmits malicious Cast protocol network traffic toward the victim's Chrome browser. The insufficient validation in Chrome's Cast component processes the malformed packets and inadvertently exposes cross-origin data from the victim's active browsing session, potentially revealing authentication tokens, page content, or other sensitive information from origins the victim is accessing. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as documented in the stable channel update 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.
