DescriptionCVE.org

Incomplete cleanup in SiteIsolation in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 exploits incomplete cleanup (CWE-459) in the SiteIsolation component, enabling a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape Chrome's cross-origin process separation via a crafted HTML page. This is a chained, second-stage attack - the CVSS score of 3.1 (Low) and EPSS of 0.28% (20th percentile) reflect the high prerequisite bar of a prior renderer compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has already achieved compromise of the Chrome renderer process through a separate vulnerability before this flaw can be leveraged - it cannot be used as a standalone attack. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1 (Low) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: AC:H reflects the high bar of requiring a pre-existing renderer compromise; UI:R requires the victim to interact with attacker-controlled content; and impact is limited to C:L with no integrity or availability consequence. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, as documented in the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
