DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized resource in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to potentially bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized resource use in Chrome's ANGLE graphics abstraction layer (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) enables remote attackers to potentially bypass the web origin policy via a crafted HTML page, resulting in limited cross-origin information disclosure. Exploitation requires user interaction - a victim must visit the attacker-controlled page - which constrains real-world impact despite the network-accessible attack vector. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Host crafted HTML page with graphics payload
Delivery
Victim navigates to page in unpatched Chrome
Exploit
ANGLE processes graphics workload
Execution
Uninitialized resource read exposes residual memory
Impact
Cross-origin data potentially leaked to attacker script

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the victim be running Google Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65 on any supported desktop platform, and must actively visit a crafted HTML page controlled by the attacker - passive network exposure alone is not sufficient (CVSS UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L) attack requiring no privileges (PR:N) but mandating user interaction (UI:R), with unchanged scope (S:U) and only partial confidentiality impact (C:L, I:N, A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious web page containing crafted HTML and graphics workload designed to trigger an uninitialized resource read within Chrome's ANGLE layer. When a victim using Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 navigates to this page, the browser processes the graphics content, and ANGLE reads uninitialized memory that may contain residual data from a different web origin, potentially disclosing cross-origin content to the attacker's script. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later via the browser's built-in update mechanism (Settings → Help → About Google Chrome) or through enterprise software management tooling. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
