DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read in Dawn in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Dawn WebGPU implementation on Windows affects all versions prior to 148.0.7778.216. The out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the Dawn graphics layer allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate cross-origin data by enticing a user to visit a crafted HTML page, exploiting improper buffer boundary enforcement during GPU operations. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; EPSS at 0.03% (11th percentile) indicates very low automated exploitation likelihood, consistent with the moderate CVSS 4.3 score and required user interaction.

Technical ContextAI

Dawn is Google's open-source, cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU and WebGL graphics APIs, integrated into Chromium as the GPU abstraction layer for hardware-accelerated rendering. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) identifies the root cause as reading memory past the end of an allocated buffer within Dawn's graphics processing pipeline. On Windows, this class of vulnerability in a GPU context can expose memory contents across security origins - potentially leaking fragments of data belonging to other web origins or browser process state. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the vulnerability explicitly scoped to the Windows platform per the CVE description. The 'Buffer Overflow' tag present in the intelligence metadata is a misnomer - CWE-125 is a read-only out-of-bounds operation, not a write, which meaningfully constrains exploitation potential relative to a true buffer overflow.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome on Windows to version 148.0.7778.216 or later, as detailed in the Chrome Stable Channel Update advisory (http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html). Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism should deliver this patch automatically; users can verify their version by navigating to chrome://settings/help and triggering a manual update check. For enterprise environments, deploy the update via Google Admin Console or Chrome Browser Cloud Management. As a temporary compensating control pending patching, WebGPU access can be restricted via the Chrome enterprise policy or by setting the flag chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu to disabled - note this will break any WebGPU-dependent web applications or games. Proxy-based URL filtering to restrict browsing to known-trusted domains reduces the likelihood of encountering a crafted exploit page, though this is not a substitute for patching.
