DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in WebXR in Google Chrome 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 leakage in Google Chrome's WebXR implementation (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) arises from an uninitialized memory use flaw exploitable by a remote attacker via a crafted HTML page that must be visited by the victim. The flaw allows partial disclosure of cross-origin data, with no integrity or availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker hosts crafted HTML page
Delivery
Victim navigates to malicious URL
Exploit
Page invokes WebXR API with exploit sequence
Execution
Uninitialized memory read occurs in WebXR subsystem
Persist
Cross-origin data fragments leaked to page context
Impact
Attacker exfiltrates data to remote server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit an attacker-controlled or compromised web page (UI:R per CVSS vector), making purely passive or drive-by exploitation without any user navigation impossible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects a network-exploitable (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), unauthenticated (PR:N) flaw that nonetheless requires user interaction (UI:R) and delivers only limited confidentiality impact (C:L) with zero integrity or availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker publishes a crafted HTML page that invokes the WebXR API in a sequence designed to trigger reads from uninitialized memory buffers, then uses JavaScript to exfiltrate the leaked bytes - potentially containing fragments of cross-origin content - back to an attacker-controlled server. The victim must navigate to this page in an unpatched Chrome browser for the attack to succeed. …
Remediation The primary fix is upgrading Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the stable channel update documented at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
