Uncontrolled search path element in CredentialProvider in Google Chrome on on Windows prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a local attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a local program. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled search path element in Chrome's Windows CredentialProvider component (CWE-427) enables a local attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox on Windows systems running Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36. The flaw is a DLL or executable search-order hijacking issue: Chrome's CredentialProvider resolves a dependency by searching an attacker-controllable path, allowing a malicious local program to intercept and execute in place of a legitimate component, with the result escaping Chrome's sandbox entirely. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access to the target Windows machine - the attacker must be able to write a malicious executable or DLL to a directory that precedes the legitimate target in Chrome's CredentialProvider search path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.1 score (AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a high-impact but locally-constrained flaw; the sandbox escape (S:C) and full C/I/A triad drive the score up, while AC:H and AV:L pull it down significantly. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: Chrome 153.0.8010.36. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Audit your environment to identify and count all Chrome installations on Windows systems running versions prior to 153.0.8010.36, and communicate patch urgency to affected users. …
