DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in CSS 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 prior to 151.0.7922.72 enables remote attackers to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML across origin boundaries by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page that exploits an inappropriate CSS implementation. Because this is a UXSS class vulnerability - not ordinary reflected or stored XSS - exploitation bypasses the browser's same-origin policy entirely, potentially exposing authenticated sessions, cookies, and DOM content from any tab open in the browser. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML page with CSS exploit
Delivery
Victim clicks phishing link or malvertising redirect
Exploit
Chrome loads page and processes flawed CSS
Execution
Same-origin policy bypassed via UXSS
Persist
Injected scripts read cross-origin tab content
Impact
Session tokens or credentials exfiltrated to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a victim to navigate to an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page using any desktop Chrome version prior to 151.0.7922.72. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.1 Medium score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects low attack complexity, no required privileges, and network reachability - with user interaction (visiting a crafted page) as the sole gatekeeping condition. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page embedding a specially constructed CSS rule or stylesheet that triggers Chrome's flawed implementation, then distributes the link via phishing email or malvertising. When a target running a vulnerable Chrome version visits the page, the CSS flaw causes Chrome to execute attacker-controlled scripts in cross-origin contexts, allowing the attacker to silently read session cookies or tokens from authenticated tabs - such as webmail or corporate SSO portals - open in the same browser. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later immediately; this is the vendor-released patch per the 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.
