DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in WebNN in Google Chrome on Windows 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 leak in Google Chrome on Windows (prior to 151.0.7922.72) stems from uninitialized memory use in the WebNN subsystem, exposing fragments of memory that may contain data from other origins. A remote attacker can trigger this flaw by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, requiring no authentication but necessitating user interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker hosts crafted HTML page invoking WebNN
Delivery
Victim navigates to page in Chrome on Windows
Exploit
WebNN allocates uninitialized buffer
Execution
Attacker script reads buffer bytes
Impact
Cross-origin data fragments exfiltrated

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires active user interaction: the victim must navigate to an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page in Chrome on Windows (UI:R in CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a realistic assessment: the flaw is network-reachable with no complexity or privilege barrier on the attacker side, but requires user interaction and delivers only partial confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequences. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker serves a crafted web page that invokes the WebNN API in a way that causes Chrome to read from an uninitialized memory buffer. When a Windows user on a vulnerable Chrome version visits the page, the script extracts bytes from that buffer and exfiltrates them to an attacker-controlled endpoint, potentially revealing fragments of data belonging to another origin previously loaded in the browser. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Chrome 151.0.7922.72. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
