DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed an attacker on the local network segment to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory exposure in Google Chrome's Cast component prior to 150.0.7871.47 allows an unauthenticated attacker on the same local network segment to leak sensitive contents from the browser's process memory via malicious Cast protocol traffic. The root cause is CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable): memory allocated for Cast operations is not zeroed before use, allowing residual in-memory data - potentially including credentials, session tokens, or cached page content - to be disclosed in responses to crafted network input. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain local network adjacency (same Wi-Fi or LAN segment)
Delivery
Identify target host running unpatched Chrome via Cast discovery probes
Exploit
Send crafted malicious Cast protocol traffic to victim browser
Execution
Trigger uninitialized memory read in Cast component
Persist
Receive response containing uninitialized process memory bytes
Impact
Extract sensitive in-memory data (credentials, tokens, cached content)

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation strictly requires the attacker to be on the same local network segment as the victim (AV:A - adjacent network only; internet-based remote exploitation is not possible). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium) with vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately captures the threat profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker connected to the same Wi-Fi network as a user running an unpatched Chrome browser - for example, at a coffee shop or shared office - sends specially crafted Cast protocol discovery or control messages to the victim's browser. The malformed traffic triggers the uninitialized memory read in Chrome's Cast component, causing the browser to inadvertently return or expose uninitialized memory bytes in its response. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, as documented in Google's Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
