Severity by source
Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
S:C assigned because site isolation bypass by definition crosses enforced security boundaries between origins; all other metrics align with the provided vector.
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.

Inappropriate implementation in SiteIsolation in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape cross-origin boundaries via a crafted HTML page, potentially accessing data from other open origins within the browser. All Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected. The CVSS 4.2 (Medium) with AC:H reflects that this is a second-stage exploitation primitive requiring prior renderer compromise, not a standalone initial access vector; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Site Isolation is a core Chrome security architecture that confines each website's content to a dedicated renderer process, preventing cross-origin data access even when one renderer is compromised. CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) identifies the root cause as an inappropriate implementation in the SiteIsolation subsystem - specifically a logic flaw that fails to enforce isolation boundaries correctly under adversarial conditions. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Google Chrome desktop releases prior to 151.0.7922.72 across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Chromium issue tracker entry (issues.chromium.org/issues/495463654) is the upstream bug reference, though its public accessibility is unconfirmed.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-confirmed patch. Chrome typically applies updates automatically; administrators can verify or force the update via chrome://settings/help. The stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html provides the authoritative patch confirmation. Because exploitation requires a renderer pre-compromise as a prerequisite, organizations with managed Chrome deployments can reduce the broader attack chain risk by enforcing Chrome enterprise policies that restrict navigation to untrusted URLs and enable enhanced Safe Browsing, reducing the likelihood of the renderer being compromised in the first place. Disabling JavaScript is an extreme compensating control that breaks most web functionality and is not recommended as a general mitigation.
