DescriptionCVE.org

Side-channel information leakage in Navigation in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Side-channel information leakage in Google Chrome's Navigation feature prior to version 147.0.7727.55 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract cross-origin data by serving a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking or navigating to a malicious page) but successfully bypasses same-origin policy protections, exposing sensitive information from different origins. With an EPSS score of 0.03% (10th percentile) indicating very low real-world exploitation probability, this represents a medium-severity information disclosure risk appropriate for routine patching rather than emergency mitigation.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exploits side-channel behavior in Chrome's Navigation API, a web platform feature that manages cross-document navigation and history state. Side-channel attacks infer sensitive information by analyzing indirect signals (timing, cache behavior, or resource metadata) rather than direct data access. CWE-1300 (Information Exposure Through Computational Timing) categorizes timing-based side-channel leaks. The flaw allows attackers to differentiate cross-origin page contents or state without direct API access, violating the same-origin policy assumption. The attack surface is the Navigation API's handling of navigation transitions where timing or observable behavior patterns leak information about target origins not under attacker control.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 147.0.7727.55. Users should upgrade to Chrome version 147.0.7727.55 or later through Settings > About > Chrome, which triggers automatic download and installation upon next browser restart. Enterprise administrators managing Chrome via policy should update Chrome deployments to version 147.0.7727.55 or later; consult Google's Chrome Enterprise release notes (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html) for rollout details. No workarounds are available for this Navigation API side-channel; patching is the definitive remediation. Organizations using Chrome in restricted environments should verify patch availability in their deployment channels before scheduling updates.
