DescriptionCVE.org

Information leak in FoldableAPIs in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin information leakage in the FoldableAPIs component of Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 enables a remote attacker to read sensitive device-geometry data from foldable-form-factor devices by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The affected API fails to enforce origin isolation, exposing data that should be inaccessible to untrusted cross-origin scripts. …

Impact
Data exfiltrated to attacker-controlled server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit a crafted HTML page in a Chrome browser version prior to 152.0.7977.65, making user interaction (UI:R) a hard prerequisite - drive-by exploitation without a browser visit is not possible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 Medium vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) characterizes this as a low-complexity, network-reachable information disclosure requiring only a browser visit, with High Confidentiality impact - however, multiple secondary signals collectively argue for a lower real-world priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or compromises a web domain and serves a crafted HTML page containing JavaScript that invokes FoldableAPIs to read cross-origin device-geometry data from the victim's unpatched Chrome browser on a foldable device. The victim is directed to the page via phishing, malvertising, or a compromised link, and upon visit the sensitive API data is silently exfiltrated to the attacker's server. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability per the Chrome 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.
