DescriptionCVE.org

Observable discrepancy in Layout in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker to leak sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Observable discrepancy in Chrome's Layout engine prior to version 153.0.8010.36 allows a remote attacker to infer sensitive cross-origin information by measuring rendering differences triggered by a crafted HTML page. The CWE-203 root cause - an attacker-observable behavioral difference that correlates with secret state - places this in the browser side-channel (XSLeak) family, where layout timing or geometry variations can reveal whether a user is authenticated to a third-party origin or whether specific cross-origin resources exist. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The victim must navigate to an attacker-controlled HTML page using a vulnerable version of Chrome (prior to 153.0.8010.36), satisfying the UI:R requirement. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.3 (Medium) score accurately reflects the constrained exploitation path: AC:H acknowledges that reliable side-channel measurement of layout discrepancies is technically demanding, requiring attacker-controlled timing and environmental consistency, while UI:R means the victim must navigate to the malicious page. … 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.
