| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must actively navigate to or be redirected to an attacker-controlled HTML page (UI:R - user interaction is required and cannot be eliminated). The FedCM API must be available and accessible in the targeted Chrome version, which it is by default in affected builds - no special non-default configuration is needed on the victim's side. The CVSS PR:N metric confirms no authentication to any service is required on the attacker's part. Exploitation is limited by the following factors: the requirement for user interaction prevents fully automated or passive network exploitation; the integrity-only impact (C:N) means the attacker cannot directly exfiltrate sensitive data through this vector alone; and the scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is contained within the browser security context rather than escaping to the underlying OS. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges on the attacker's side, but mandating user interaction - the victim must navigate to an attacker-controlled HTML page. The integrity impact is rated High while confidentiality and availability are unaffected, indicating the attacker can manipulate or forge cross-origin data or actions but cannot directly read sensitive data or cause denial of service. The EPSS score of 0.22% at the 13th percentile is low, and there is no CISA KEV listing and no known public exploit, meaning real-world active exploitation is not currently confirmed. The UI:R constraint meaningfully limits opportunistic exploitation compared to purely automated attack chains. Overall, this is a genuine security concern warranting prompt patching due to SOP bypass potential in a ubiquitous browser, but the low EPSS and absence of KEV or POC suggest it is not an immediate critical-priority incident for most organizations - standard patch cadence is appropriate. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a malicious origin and hosts a crafted HTML page that initiates a FedCM-based identity flow with a specially constructed request designed to exploit the SOP enforcement failure. When a victim user visits or is redirected to the attacker's page (via phishing, malvertising, or a compromised site), the FedCM implementation processes the crafted flow, allowing the attacker's origin to perform integrity-impacting cross-origin actions - such as forging identity assertions or manipulating cross-origin resources - that the Same Origin Policy should have blocked. No public proof-of-concept exists at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity (AC:L) means that once the SOP bypass mechanism is understood, exploitation does not require sophisticated tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 31, 2026
Same Origin Policy bypass in Google Chrome's FedCM (Federated Credential Management) subsystem prior to version 151.0.7922.72 enables remote attackers to achieve high-integrity cross-origin impact by luring victims to a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from an inappropriate implementation in the FedCM API, which fails to enforce origin boundaries correctly (CWE-693). No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.22% (13th percentile) reflects low current exploitation probability despite the network-accessible attack vector.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later - this is the vendor-confirmed fix version per the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism should apply this update automatically on most managed and consumer endpoints; verify update completion via chrome://settings/help. For enterprise environments using managed Chrome deployments, force-push the update through Google Admin Console or MDM policy and verify version compliance before the next scheduled maintenance window. If immediate patching is not feasible, a compensating control is to restrict or disable FedCM via enterprise browser policy (if such a policy toggle is available in the relevant Chrome version), which removes the vulnerable attack surface at the cost of breaking federated sign-in flows that rely on the FedCM API. Chromium-based browsers built on affected upstream versions should be updated to builds incorporating the patch from Chromium issue 511754400.

Technical ContextAI · show details
FedCM (Federated Credential Management) is a modern browser API introduced to support privacy-preserving federated identity flows without reliance on third-party cookies, allowing identity providers to authenticate users across origins in a structured, browser-mediated manner. The root cause is CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure), where Chrome's FedCM implementation fails to correctly enforce the Same Origin Policy - the foundational browser security boundary separating content from different origins. This allows a crafted HTML page to abuse the FedCM flow to perform cross-origin actions that should be restricted. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all desktop Chrome builds prior to 151.0.7922.72. The Chromium issue tracker reference (issues.chromium.org/issues/511754400) provides the upstream bug context, and the flaw was reported and fixed by the Chrome team.

Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Network-delivered via crafted page with no attacker privileges; user must visit the page (UI:R); SOP bypass yields integrity-only impact with no data disclosure or availability loss.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.
