DescriptionCVE.org

Information leak in SignIn in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in Google Chrome's SignIn component (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive user information by sending crafted network traffic during the sign-in flow. The CVSS vector assigns High complexity (AC:H), indicating exploitation is not straightforward and requires specific network conditions to be met. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain network position to intercept Chrome traffic
Delivery
Wait for or induce victim to initiate Chrome SignIn
Exploit
Send crafted network packets targeting SignIn flow
Execution
Trigger CWE-200 information leak in SignIn handler
Impact
Capture exposed sensitive data from response

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be capable of delivering crafted network traffic to the victim's Chrome instance during an active or initiated SignIn operation - implying either a network-adjacent position (e.g., same LAN, rogue AP) or the ability to influence traffic in transit. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 5.9 (Medium) is primarily driven by the High confidentiality impact (C:H) and network attack vector (AV:N), but the High complexity rating (AC:H) is the critical moderating factor - exploitation requires the attacker to engineer specific network conditions, likely involving traffic interception or manipulation during an active SignIn session. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker positioned to observe or manipulate a victim's network traffic - such as on a shared network segment, a rogue Wi-Fi access point, or via a compromised network device - sends crafted packets timed to interact with Chrome's SignIn flow while the user authenticates with a Google account. The crafted traffic triggers the information leak, exposing sensitive data such as session tokens or identity artifacts that the attacker captures for subsequent account access or session hijacking.
Remediation The primary remediation is to update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which addresses this vulnerability per the vendor 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.
