DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect authorization in Downloads in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to spoof UI elements via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Chrome's Downloads subsystem in versions prior to 153.0.8010.36 contains an incorrect authorization check (CWE-863) that allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to spoof download-related UI elements via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability is a post-renderer-compromise chaining primitive - it cannot be exploited independently and must be paired with a separate renderer exploit. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two sequential prerequisites: (1) the attacker must have achieved arbitrary code execution within Chrome's renderer process via a separate, unrelated vulnerability - this is the dominant limiting factor; and (2) the victim must visit a specially crafted HTML page (UI:R) that triggers the renderer compromise and the subsequent Downloads authorization abuse. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.2 (Medium) vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L and the Chromium team's own 'Medium' rating are consistent and appropriate given the two-stage exploitation requirement. … 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 153.0.8010.36 or later using Chrome's built-in update mechanism (Settings → Help → About Google Chrome) or via enterprise deployment tooling. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
