DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Web origin policy bypass in Google Chrome's WebRTC component (prior to 152.0.7977.65) enables a network-positioned attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to cross same-origin boundaries via a crafted HTML page requiring user interaction. This is a chained exploitation step - not a standalone critical flaw - making it most relevant as a second-stage component in a targeted multi-stage browser exploit. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two distinct, chained prerequisites: (1) the target's Chrome renderer process must already be compromised through a separate, independent vulnerability - this is an explicit condition stated in the CVE description and reflected in the CVSS AC:H rating; and (2) the victim must interact with a specially crafted HTML page while running a Chrome version prior to 152.0.7977.65. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Risk signals collectively indicate a low-priority, chained vulnerability with limited standalone exploitation value. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch addressing the WebRTC improper input validation flaw; the full release notes are available at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
