vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

DescriptionCVE.org

Side-channel information leakage in Autofill in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Side-channel information leakage in Chrome's Autofill component exposes cross-origin data to remote attackers who have already achieved renderer process compromise. All Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected across all platforms. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Exploit separate Chrome renderer RCE vulnerability
Delivery
Achieve code execution in compromised renderer process
Exploit
Deliver crafted HTML page to victim
Execution
Trigger Autofill side-channel timing or resource observable
Persist
Measure cross-origin data signal
Impact
Exfiltrate inferred Autofill field contents

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two explicit preconditions: (1) the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process through a separate, independent vulnerability - this CVE is not a standalone attack vector; and (2) the victim user must interact with a crafted HTML page while the renderer compromise is active (UI:R per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The published CVSS 4.3 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) materially overstates standalone exploitability: the description explicitly requires the attacker to have already compromised the renderer process, a significant prerequisite that PR:N and AC:L do not capture. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has already established code execution within Chrome's renderer process - via a separate, prior renderer vulnerability - crafts a malicious HTML page that triggers the Autofill side-channel. By observing measurable behavioral differences (e.g., timing variations) in the Autofill subsystem while the compromised renderer interacts with cross-origin content, the attacker infers sensitive form field data from other origins loaded in the browser session. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
