DescriptionCVE.org

Information leak in ServiceWorker in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to obtain cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data exposure via a ServiceWorker flaw in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 permits remote attackers to read data from origins they do not control. An attacker can exploit this by delivering a crafted HTML page to a victim user, leveraging Chrome's ServiceWorker API to bypass same-origin isolation and exfiltrate cross-origin responses. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Deliver crafted HTML page to victim via phishing or malvertising
Exploit
Victim navigates to page in unpatched Chrome
Execution
Malicious ServiceWorker registers and intercepts cross-origin network requests
Impact
Cross-origin response data exfiltrated to attacker-controlled endpoint

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an unpatched version of Google Chrome (prior to 152.0.7977.65) and active user interaction: the victim must navigate to the attacker's crafted HTML page (UI:R per CVSS), making passive network interception insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.3 score accurately reflects the constrained scope: confidentiality-only partial impact (C:L), no scope change (S:U), and a mandatory user-interaction prerequisite (UI:R) that eliminates purely opportunistic or automated mass exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious web page containing JavaScript that registers a crafted ServiceWorker designed to intercept cross-origin fetch requests and relay response data back to an attacker-controlled endpoint. A victim using an unpatched Chrome browser navigates to the attacker's page - via a phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised third-party site - triggering the ServiceWorker registration, after which cross-origin data accessible in that browsing context leaks to the attacker. …
Remediation The primary remediation is upgrading Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, as documented in the Chrome stable channel 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.
