Incomplete cleanup in Downloads in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to bypass system access restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Incomplete cleanup in the Downloads component of Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 enables remote attackers to bypass system-level access restrictions, achieving high integrity impact without requiring any privileges. Exploitation requires social engineering: the victim must be lured to a crafted HTML page that triggers leftover state or residual artifacts from the Downloads subsystem, which Chrome fails to fully sanitize. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires active user interaction - the victim must visit a crafted HTML page, and social engineering is the explicitly stated delivery mechanism (CVSS UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 6.5 Medium vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) captures the core trade-off well: while network delivery and low complexity keep the attacker's bar low, the mandatory user interaction (UI:R via social engineering) is a meaningful friction point that limits opportunistic mass exploitation. … 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; this is confirmed as the vendor-released patch per the Chrome Releases stable channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0808145027.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
