Uninitialized Use in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 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 prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to read sensitive data from other origins by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates this High severity and a vendor patch is available, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS places exploitation probability at 1.64% (82nd percentile).
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's open-source, cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU API, which exposes GPU compute and rendering capabilities to web content through a JavaScript interface. The root cause is CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable): a code path inside Dawn reads memory that was never initialized, allowing residual contents - potentially populated by data from other origins or processes - to be returned to the attacker-controlled page. Because WebGPU operates close to the GPU driver and shares GPU memory across browser tabs and renderers, uninitialized reads here are especially dangerous for breaking the same-origin policy. Affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Chrome desktop builds preceding 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.53 or later on all desktop platforms, as documented in the Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. For managed fleets, push the update via Chrome Browser Cloud Management or your endpoint management tooling and verify chrome://settings/help reports the fixed build; ensure downstream Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron apps) are upgraded to releases that incorporate the Dawn fix. If immediate patching is not possible, a targeted compensating control is to disable WebGPU by launching Chrome with --disable-features=WebGPU or via enterprise policy, which closes the affected Dawn attack surface at the cost of breaking WebGPU-dependent sites and applications (rare today, more common for ML demos and some games); blocking known malicious domains at the proxy layer is a weaker secondary mitigation since exploitation only requires visiting attacker-controlled HTML.
