MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The victim must be running any version of Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 on any supported desktop platform. Autofill must be enabled, which is the default Chrome configuration - no non-default setup is required. The attacker must deliver a crafted HTML page to the victim, and the victim must navigate to or load that page (UI:R per CVSS - one act of user interaction is required). No attacker authentication or account privileges are needed (PR:N). Exploitation is not automatable per SSVC because the user-interaction gate cannot be bypassed mechanically. Key limiting factors: Chrome's silent auto-update mechanism means most consumer users patch within hours of release; Chromium's Medium internal severity suggests the cross-origin scope may be partially constrained in practice; and the absence of POC code raises the technical barrier for would-be attackers.

Impact

The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 (Medium) reflects network accessibility (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no attacker privilege requirement (PR:N), mandatory user interaction (UI:R), unchanged scope (S:U), and partial confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L). The S:U designation is notable given that UXSS, by definition, implies cross-origin impact - this may reflect NVD scoring conservatism or a limited demonstrated scope in the specific Chromium issue. EPSS at 0.20% in the 11th percentile places this well below median exploitation probability, consistent with SSVC's exploitation status of 'none' and automatable status of 'no.' No KEV listing and no identified POC further reduce urgency. Real-world risk is moderate-to-low at population scale: Chrome's aggressive auto-update mechanism dramatically shortens the exposure window for consumer users, while enterprise-managed fleets may lag. UXSS primitives are nonetheless high-value targets for nation-state actors and sophisticated threat groups due to their cross-origin session hijacking potential, so the low EPSS should not be interpreted as zero risk in sensitive environments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a malicious domain and hosts a crafted HTML page designed to trigger an inappropriate code path in Chrome's Autofill subsystem when the page is rendered. A victim is directed to the page via a phishing email or malvertising redirect; Chrome processes the page and the Autofill flaw allows attacker-controlled scripts or HTML to execute in a privileged browser context, potentially reading session cookies, authentication tokens, or page content from other origins open in the same browser session. No public POC has been identified, making this scenario currently accessible primarily to threat actors with independent browser exploit research capability.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS) in Google Chrome's Autofill subsystem prior to version 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML that can escape the browser's same-origin policy by delivering a crafted HTML page to an unsuspecting victim. All Chrome installations below 151.0.7922.72 across supported platforms are affected, with partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog; EPSS at 0.20% (11th percentile) and SSVC exploitation status of 'none' confirm low current exploitation probability, though UXSS primitives carry disproportionate value for credential and session theft.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-released fix as documented in the Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Most consumer Chrome installations will update automatically; enterprise environments should verify deployment via Chrome Browser Cloud Management or Group Policy (GoogleUpdate policies). For organizations unable to immediately apply the patch, disabling Chrome Autofill via enterprise policy ('AutofillAddressEnabled: false' and 'AutofillCreditCardEnabled: false') may remove the vulnerable code path as a compensating control, at the cost of end-user form-completion convenience. Deploying a remote browser isolation (RBI) solution for high-risk users can contain UXSS impact by preventing cross-origin script reach. Web filtering to block navigation to untrusted or unknown HTML pages reduces attacker delivery surface but does not eliminate risk from compromised legitimate sites.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw resides in Chrome's Autofill subsystem - the built-in browser feature that automatically populates form fields with stored user data. The root cause is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation - Cross-Site Scripting), with the specific variant being UXSS (Universal XSS). Unlike conventional reflected or stored XSS, UXSS exploits flaws in browser internals rather than web application logic, enabling injected scripts to potentially operate across the browser's same-origin policy boundaries and access content from arbitrary origins. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome versions on all platforms prior to 151.0.7922.72. Chromium's internal severity rating is Medium, suggesting exploitation constraints limit the practical cross-origin impact scope. The inappropriate implementation label indicates incorrect handling of attacker-influenced content within the Autofill processing pipeline rather than a memory corruption class of vulnerability.
