Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a victim running Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 to visit an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page - confirmed by the CVSS UI:R (user interaction required) metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N presents a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only a single user click or navigation event - a realistic social engineering threshold. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page and distributes its URL via phishing email or malicious advertisement, targeting Chrome users on vulnerable versions prior to 152.0.7977.65. When the victim navigates to the page, JavaScript or HTML form constructs exploit the incorrect authorization check in Chrome's Forms component to read sensitive data - such as autofilled credentials or previously entered form values - and exfiltrate it to an attacker-controlled server. …
