Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires two explicit, sequential prerequisites: first, the attacker must have already compromised the victim's Chrome renderer process through a separate, unrelated vulnerability - this is a hard prerequisite making standalone exploitation of this CVE impossible; second, the victim must actively visit or be redirected to a crafted HTML page (UI:R). The CVSS AC:H metric reflects the complexity introduced by the renderer pre-compromise requirement. No authentication to any system or service is required for the CORS leak step itself (PR:N). Exploitation is constrained to Chrome versions below 151.0.7922.72, impacts only confidentiality at a limited level (C:L), and does not affect integrity or availability. The Low CVSS score (3.1) and Chromium's own 'Low' security severity designation are consistent with this chained, limited-impact profile. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.1 (Low) accurately reflects real-world risk. The vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N captures high attack complexity and mandatory user interaction, but does not fully express the critical implicit prerequisite stated in the description: a separate renderer process compromise must precede this exploit, making standalone exploitation impossible. SSVC signals reinforce low priority - Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial. EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) confirms negligible real-world exploitation probability. There is no CISA KEV listing and no POC status in available intelligence. The confidentiality impact is limited in scope (S:U, C:L) with no integrity or availability component. This vulnerability presents essentially no standalone risk; its relevance is confined to multi-stage exploit chains targeting high-value Chrome users where a renderer exploit is already deployed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has separately exploited a Chrome renderer vulnerability (to achieve renderer process compromise on a target machine) then directs the victim to a crafted HTML page that triggers the CORS implementation flaw, causing Chrome to leak cross-origin response data - such as authenticated session content or sensitive API responses from a different origin - back to the attacker-controlled page. No public exploit code is identified in available intelligence, and the two-stage nature of the attack limits realistic exploitation to sophisticated threat actors with access to renderer-level Chrome exploits. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's CORS implementation enables a post-exploitation information disclosure step for attackers who have already compromised the renderer process. All Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected, with exploitation requiring both a pre-existing renderer compromise and user interaction with a crafted HTML page. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing; EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) and SSVC Exploitation: none confirm this is a low-priority, chained-attack-only vulnerability in practice.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Google Chrome 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome auto-updates for most users, but enterprise administrators managing Chrome via policy should verify the update has deployed across managed endpoints. Because this vulnerability is only exploitable after a renderer process has already been compromised, compensating controls that reduce renderer compromise risk also reduce this attack surface: enabling Chrome's built-in Site Isolation (active by default in modern Chrome), minimizing installed browser extensions to trusted and audited sources, and blocking known malicious web content at the network perimeter. These measures do not substitute for the patch but address the prerequisite attack step.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a browser security mechanism enforcing the Same-Origin Policy by controlling which cross-origin HTTP responses a web page may access. CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error) identifies the root cause: the Chrome CORS subsystem fails to properly validate origin boundaries under specific conditions, allowing cross-origin data that should be blocked to be read by a compromised renderer. The Chrome renderer process is the sandboxed component responsible for parsing HTML, executing JavaScript, and making network requests; when already compromised (via a separate exploit), this CORS flaw provides an additional data exfiltration primitive. Affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome versions below 151.0.7922.72.
