| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 on any supported desktop platform, and to actively visit a crafted HTML page under attacker control - the UI:R CVSS metric confirms this user interaction is mandatory and non-bypassable. The Presentation API must be active, which it is by default in all standard Chrome installations; no special feature flag or non-default configuration is required on the victim's side. The attacker must control a web origin capable of hosting the malicious page and must have a mechanism to deliver it to the target (phishing, malvertising, or compromised web property). Exploitation is strictly bounded to confidentiality - the CVSS I:N/A:N metrics confirm no write capability or denial-of-service is achievable. The data leakage is limited to browser-accessible cross-origin content visible within the same browser session, not arbitrary filesystem or OS data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) is consistent with the threat model: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N confirm unauthenticated network reachability with no special configuration, but UI:R introduces mandatory social engineering friction and S:U bounds impact to the browser sandbox. C:L/I:N/A:N correctly scopes the issue as a read-only data disclosure with no write or denial-of-service capability. The EPSS score of 0.21% at the 11th percentile strongly suggests this is not being exploited opportunistically or at scale. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code has been identified, meaning exploitation currently demands custom tooling. Real-world priority should be assessed against the victim population: organizations with users frequently handling sensitive web sessions (banking portals, enterprise SSO, healthcare applications) face higher residual risk than general-purpose environments. This is a genuine security issue warranting inclusion in the next standard patch cycle but does not justify emergency out-of-band response for most organizations. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a domain and hosts a crafted HTML page that opens a Presentation API session targeting the victim's browser, exploiting the origin validation flaw to read data from a co-resident origin (such as an enterprise SSO portal open in another tab). The victim is directed to the page via a phishing email or malicious advertisement. No public exploit code has been identified, so practical exploitation currently requires the attacker to develop custom JavaScript leveraging the Presentation API's improper boundary enforcement. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Presentation API prior to version 151.0.7922.72 enables remote attackers to exfiltrate sensitive same-browser data by delivering a crafted HTML page to an unsuspecting user. The flaw violates the Same-Origin Policy through an origin validation error (CWE-346) in the PresentationAPI component, potentially exposing session tokens, authentication state, or other sensitive content from co-resident origins. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at the 11th percentile (0.21%), indicating low mass-exploitation risk at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later - this is the vendor-released patch per the stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will deliver this to most managed endpoints without administrator intervention; verify rollout completion via fleet management tooling. For environments where immediate patching is not feasible, consider disabling the Presentation API through Chrome enterprise policy (PresentationReceiverEnabled set to false), though this will break legitimate screen-casting and presentation workflows - assess the trade-off before deploying. Restricting users from navigating to untrusted external sites via web proxy allowlisting reduces attack surface but does not eliminate risk from compromised ad networks or trusted-but-compromised sites.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The W3C Presentation API is a browser interface enabling web pages to control secondary displays or initiate presentation sessions to cast-capable receivers; it is enabled by default in Chromium-based browsers. CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error) identifies the root cause as Chrome's PresentationAPI implementation failing to enforce strict origin boundaries during presentation session handling, allowing data from one origin to be read by a distinct attacker-controlled origin. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Chrome across all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) for all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. The Same-Origin Policy is the browser's primary isolation primitive; a bypass here enables cross-site data theft without any elevated OS-level access.

Network-delivered crafted page requires active user visit (UI:R); no authentication needed; impact is limited read-only cross-origin data disclosure with no integrity or availability effect.
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.
