DescriptionCVE.org

Information leak in Canvas in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Canvas API information leak in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 enables remote attackers to bypass the Same-Origin Policy and read cross-origin pixel data via a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting the malicious page) and results in low confidentiality impact - pixel-level canvas data leakage rather than credential or file system exposure. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML page with Canvas read-back exploit
Delivery
Victim navigates to page via phishing or malvertising
Exploit
Page loads cross-origin resource into Canvas context
Execution
Origin policy check bypassed in Chrome renderer
Persist
Pixel data read back by attacker-controlled JavaScript
Impact
Exfiltrated to attacker infrastructure

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit a crafted HTML page (UI:R is mandatory - passive drive-by without user navigation is not possible). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 4.3 Medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) accurately captures the risk profile: remotely reachable but gated by mandatory user interaction, with only low confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequence. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page containing JavaScript that uses Canvas API read-back operations on cross-origin image or WebGL content to extract pixel data that Chrome's origin policy should block. When a victim visits the page (e.g., via a phishing link or malicious advertisement), the page silently reads and exfiltrates the leaked pixel data to an attacker-controlled endpoint. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, the vendor-confirmed fixed release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
