| Impact | Without published CVSS vectors or EPSS scores, risk assessment relies on multiple available signals. The vulnerability is classified as High severity by Chromium's internal security review process, indicating significant real-world impact potential. The attack vector is network-based (remote attacker via HTML page), and no special privileges or user interaction beyond visiting a crafted webpage is required. The vulnerability affects a platform-specific component (macOS), which reduces the overall population at immediate risk compared to cross-platform issues. A vendor patch has been released and is available for deployment, indicating this is not an unpatched zero-day. The information disclosure impact is complete (cross-origin data breach), making this a priority for systems handling sensitive web content. Given the availability of a patch and the specific targeting of macOS platforms, this represents a manageable risk with clear remediation path, though organizations with macOS-based Chrome deployments should prioritize patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a malicious website containing a crafted HTML page that exploits the integer overflow in Dawn's WebGPU implementation. When a user on macOS visits this page in Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.153, the integer overflow triggers an out-of-bounds memory access that allows the attacker to read data from other browser tabs or origins—for example, stealing authentication tokens from a banking website or session data from cloud services open in other tabs. The attack requires no user interaction beyond visiting the page, and the integer overflow condition can be reliably triggered through careful crafting of WebGPU command buffers. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 20, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Dawn component on macOS versions prior to 146.0.7680.153 results from an integer overflow vulnerability that can be triggered through a malicious HTML page. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to access sensitive information from other origins without user interaction beyond viewing the crafted page. Patches are available for Chrome, Ubuntu, and Debian.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
An integer overflow vulnerability in Dawn, Google's WebGPU implementation library used in Chrome, allows remote attackers to leak cross-origin data through a crafted HTML page on macOS systems. Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.153 are affected, and this vulnerability is rated as High severity by Chromium security reviewers. While CVSS and EPSS scores are not publicly available, the vulnerability has been patched by Google and tracked across multiple Linux distributions including Debian.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade Google Chrome on macOS systems to version 146.0.7680.153 or later. This patch is available through Chrome's automatic update mechanism (Settings > About Google Chrome), which will typically download and apply the update on next restart. For enterprise environments managing Chrome deployments, use the official Chrome release channel at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/03/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_18.html to verify patch deployment status. For Debian-based systems, check available updates through your package manager and apply the patched Chrome version once released in your distribution's repositories. Until patching is complete, restrict access to untrusted websites and consider disabling WebGPU features if running an older Chrome version that cannot be immediately patched, though this may impact web application functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in Dawn (Chromium's WebGPU implementation), a graphics API abstraction layer that handles GPU-accelerated rendering. Integer overflow vulnerabilities in graphics libraries typically occur in buffer size calculations, memory allocation routines, or coordinate transformations where unsigned integers wrap around to zero or small values when exceeding maximum bounds. CWE-472 (Information Disclosure due to external control of assumed-immutable web content) indicates the root cause involves improper validation of external input that leads to unintended data exposure. The vulnerability allows an attacker to escape the sandboxing protections that normally isolate cross-origin web content, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data from other origins. This is particularly concerning because WebGPU operations typically run with elevated privileges for GPU access.
