DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in Skia graphics library within Google Chrome prior to version 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers who have compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data through a crafted Chrome Extension. The vulnerability requires user interaction and relies on renderer compromise, limiting real-world exploitation despite the information disclosure impact. Chromium classified this as Medium severity; no active exploitation has been publicly confirmed.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in Skia, Google's 2D graphics rendering library integrated into Chrome. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) indicates improper bounds checking in memory access operations within the Skia rendering pipeline. An attacker exploiting this must first compromise Chrome's renderer process-a sandboxed environment separate from the main browser process-and then craft a malicious extension to trigger the out-of-bounds memory read. This read operation can expose data from adjacent memory regions, potentially leaking information from cross-origin contexts that should be isolated. The attack surface is narrowed by the renderer sandbox and the need for prior process compromise.

RemediationAI

Users should immediately update Google Chrome to version 148.0.7778.96 or later via Settings > About Chrome, which will auto-update or prompt for restart. The patch is vendor-released and available from Google Chrome's stable release channel (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html). No workarounds are available short of disabling extensions or avoiding untrusted websites that might attempt renderer exploitation through other vectors. Enterprise administrators can enforce automatic updates via Chrome policies (ChromeVariations, Update policies) to ensure rapid deployment. Note that this fix addresses only the Skia out-of-bounds read; organizations must continue monitoring for and patching the initial renderer compromise vector, which is the real attack prerequisite.
