Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a single, active user interaction: the victim must open a specially crafted file within Google Chrome. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) signals a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring no attacker privileges but mandating a single user interaction - opening a crafted file. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker delivers a maliciously crafted file - such as a document or archive - via email, web download, or messaging platform to a target Chrome user. The user opens the file, triggering the Bisection component to process attacker-controlled content, which injects code and causes Chrome to read and transmit sensitive local browser data (such as session tokens or cached credentials) back to the attacker-controlled infrastructure. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which is confirmed as the vendor-released patch per the stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
