DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Loader in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leak in Google Chrome's Loader component (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to exfiltrate sensitive data from other origins via a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) in how Loader processes requests originating from a compromised renderer, bypassing same-origin protections. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Exploit
Deliver crafted HTML page to victim
Execution
Loader processes renderer input without sufficient validation
Persist
Bypass same-origin boundary
Impact
Exfiltrate cross-origin data to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The critical, non-negotiable prerequisite for exploitation is prior compromise of Chrome's renderer process - typically achieved via a separate, unpatched RCE vulnerability in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, Blink renderer, or media handling stack. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 6.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) materially understates attack complexity because AC:L does not capture the most significant prerequisite: the attacker must have already compromised Chrome's renderer process, typically via a separate and often critical-severity RCE vulnerability targeting the JavaScript engine or media parser. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has separately leveraged a renderer RCE vulnerability to compromise Chrome's renderer process delivers a crafted HTML page to a victim already authenticated to sensitive internal applications. The compromised renderer exploits Loader's insufficient input validation to issue manipulated cross-origin resource requests, capturing responses - such as session tokens, CSRF nonces, or page content from banking or enterprise portals - that the same-origin policy would normally block. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later immediately, as documented in the Chrome stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
