DescriptionCVE.org

Missing authorization in Sensor in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sensor API information disclosure in Google Chrome before 152.0.7977.65 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to read sensitive device sensor data by loading a crafted HTML page. The flaw (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) does not provide initial access on its own - it is a post-exploitation primitive that extends the capability of a pre-existing renderer compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Deliver crafted HTML page to target user
Delivery
User loads page in Chrome renderer
Exploit
Exploit separate renderer process vulnerability
Execution
Achieve code execution in sandboxed renderer
Persist
Send unauthorized Sensor API requests bypassing missing authorization check
Impact
Exfiltrate device sensor data to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two mandatory preconditions: (1) the attacker must have already achieved code execution within Chrome's renderer process via a separate, independently sourced renderer vulnerability - this CVE alone provides no initial access; and (2) user interaction is required (CVSS UI:R), meaning the target user must navigate to or load a crafted HTML page. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 5.3 (Medium). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate renderer-level vulnerability (such as a V8 engine or Blink flaw) to gain code execution within Chrome's sandboxed renderer process on the victim's machine. From the compromised renderer, the attacker sends unauthorized requests to the Sensor component - bypassing the missing authorization check - to read device sensor telemetry (e.g., gyroscope, accelerometer readings) via a crafted HTML page. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, available via Chrome's built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) or from Google's official download channel. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
