| Exploitation Conditions | User interaction is required: the victim must actively visit an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page in Chrome (reflected by UI:R in the CVSS vector). The Cast feature must be present and accessible, which is the default in all standard Chrome desktop installations - no non-default configuration is required to be vulnerable. No authentication or prior access to the victim's system is needed (PR:N). Exploitation is bounded to partial confidentiality loss (C:L); integrity and availability of the victim system are not impacted. Limiting factors include the social engineering step to direct a user to the malicious page, the restriction to Chrome desktop versions below 151.0.7922.72, and the limited data-disclosure scope compared to full session hijacking. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) is commensurate with the actual risk profile. The vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N reflects a network-accessible attack requiring no privileges but mandating user interaction - the victim must visit an attacker-controlled HTML page. The Scope is Unchanged (S:U), limiting blast radius to the victim browser session, and confidentiality impact is Low (C:L), meaning only partial data disclosure rather than full credential or session compromise. EPSS at 0.21% (11th percentile) is very low, suggesting the security community does not currently assess this as likely to be exploited at scale. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public POC reported. The combination of required user interaction, low confidentiality impact, and low EPSS places this firmly in the 'patch on regular cycle' category rather than an emergency response priority. No conflicting signals are present between the CVSS vector and the description. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page that abuses Chrome's Cast feature to initiate or observe cross-origin resource access, bypassing same-origin validation. When a Chrome user (running a version prior to 151.0.7922.72) visits the attacker's page - via phishing link, malicious ad, or compromised site - the page silently reads data belonging to a different origin (e.g., a logged-in session page) and exfiltrates it. No public POC exists at time of analysis, so real-world exploitation would require attacker-developed tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's Cast feature affects all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72, enabling a remote attacker to read data across origin boundaries by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from improper origin validation (CWE-346) within the Cast subsystem, violating the Same-Origin Policy. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.21% (11th percentile), indicating limited real-world exploitation pressure at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via Chrome's built-in update mechanism (Settings > Help > About Google Chrome) or enterprise deployment tools. The vendor-released patch is documented in the Chrome stable channel update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. For environments where immediate patching is not possible, disabling or restricting the Cast feature via enterprise policy (e.g., setting the EnableMediaRouter policy to false) removes the vulnerable code path, though this eliminates Chromecast/Cast functionality entirely. No other confirmed workarounds are available. Given the low EPSS and absence of active exploitation, standard patch-cycle deployment is appropriate for most organizations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Cast feature in Google Chrome manages streaming of browser content to Google Cast-compatible devices (e.g., Chromecast). CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error) indicates the implementation fails to correctly validate or enforce same-origin constraints during Cast-related operations, allowing a malicious page to initiate or observe Cast interactions in a way that exposes data belonging to a different origin. The affected product is confirmed via CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. The Chromium issue tracker reference (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/514460133) is the upstream bug report, though access may be restricted. The root-cause class (origin validation failure) is consistent with how Cast integrates with the renderer process and may involve improper message-passing or resource-access checks across origins.
