DescriptionCVE.org

Improper resource exposure in StreamsAPI in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to potentially bypass web origin policy into a privileged page via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Improper resource exposure in Google Chrome's StreamsAPI (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) enables remote attackers to partially bypass the web origin policy and read limited data from privileged browser pages via a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction - the victim must visit an attacker-controlled page - consistent with CVSS UI:R and S:U, confining impact to the victim's own browser context. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit or be redirected to an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page (CVSS UI:R - user interaction is mandatory and non-negotiable). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.3 (Medium) score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with no required privileges, but mandatory user interaction and limited, contained confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page that abuses a flaw in Chrome's StreamsAPI implementation to read resources from a privileged browser page (such as a chrome:// internal page) loaded in the same browser session. The victim is socially engineered - via phishing, malvertising, or a compromised site - into visiting the crafted page, triggering the cross-origin policy bypass and leaking limited data back to the attacker. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, as documented in the Google stable channel release 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.
