DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read in WebXR in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory read in Chrome's WebXR component allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive renderer process memory or crash the browser tab by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. All Google Chrome releases prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected across all platforms, with the vendor confirming a patch in the stable channel update. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and an EPSS of 0.18% (8th percentile) indicates low near-term exploitation probability despite the high CVSS base score of 8.1.

Technical ContextAI

WebXR is the browser API that enables augmented and virtual reality experiences natively in the browser without plugins. The vulnerability resides in Google Chrome's implementation of this API (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and is classified under CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read), a memory safety flaw where code reads data from a memory address beyond the allocated buffer boundary. In a browser rendering context, such flaws are particularly consequential: the WebXR subsystem processes complex 3D scene graph and device input data, and malformed input values can cause the parser or geometry processor to index into adjacent memory regions. This can expose heap contents from the renderer process, which may include cached page data, credentials, or other sensitive user information, or trigger a renderer crash, manifesting as a tab crash rather than a full browser shutdown due to Chrome's sandboxed multi-process architecture.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed as the vendor-released patch per the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism will apply this in most consumer and managed deployments; verify the installed version via chrome://settings/help or enterprise management tooling. For organizations that cannot immediately deploy the update, a compensating control is to restrict or block access to WebXR-dependent web applications via web filtering or browser policy (e.g., disabling the WebXR Device API via enterprise policy flags where supported) - note this will break legitimate immersive web experiences and productivity tools that rely on WebXR. No other confirmed workarounds are available from the referenced data.
