V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Variable initialization checks
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a victim actively navigate to an attacker-controlled HTML page using Google Chrome on Android - user interaction (UI:R) is a hard prerequisite that prevents fully automated mass exploitation. The crafted page must invoke the WebXR API, which is available by default in Chrome for Android but requires the attacker's page to be loaded and processed by the browser. The vulnerability is explicitly platform-specific: only Chrome running on Android is identified as affected; desktop Chrome on other operating systems is outside scope per the CVE description. No authentication is required from the attacker's perspective (PR:N per CVSS). The primary limiting factors are the mandatory user-interaction requirement, Android-platform specificity, and Chrome's sandboxed process model, which constrains what memory contents are accessible to the disclosure and limits lateral impact from any leaked data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) reflects network reachability (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no required privileges (PR:N), mandatory user interaction (UI:R), and high confidentiality impact (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact. The EPSS score of 0.19% at the 9th percentile signals very low near-term exploitation probability, consistent with the SSVC assessment of exploitation: none, automatable: no, and technical impact: partial. The non-automatable designation directly aligns with the UI:R constraint - mass exploitation requires individually tricking users rather than autonomous scanning. No CISA KEV listing and no identified public exploit code further reduce urgency. The C:H rating may overstate practical impact: uninitialized memory disclosures in sandboxed browser processes may only leak low-value data, though in specific timing scenarios sensitive in-memory material such as session tokens or cached credentials could theoretically be exposed. Real-world risk is materially lower than the base CVSS implies; this warrants routine update-cycle remediation rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that invokes the WebXR API in a manner that triggers access to an uninitialized memory region, then lures an Android Chrome user to visit the page via phishing, malicious advertisement, or a compromised website. The browser processes the page, the WebXR subsystem reads uninitialized memory, and portions of browser process memory - potentially including data resident from prior operations - are returned to the attacker's JavaScript context. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Uninitialized memory access in Google Chrome's WebXR implementation on Android exposes potentially sensitive browser process memory contents to remote attackers who can direct a victim to a crafted HTML page. All Chrome for Android versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected by this information disclosure weakness (CWE-457). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and SSVC confirms no active exploitation, placing this in routine patch-cycle priority despite the high confidentiality impact rating in the CVSS base score.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome for Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, available through the Google Play Store automatic update mechanism or by manually checking for updates within the Chrome app settings. The fix is documented in the Chrome Stable Channel Update advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. If immediate patching is not feasible in managed environments, a compensating control is to restrict or disable WebXR via Chrome enterprise policy (DisableWebXR managed policy or chrome://flags/#webxr) - note that this will break legitimate WebXR, AR, and VR web experiences and may affect productivity applications relying on those features. Enforcing Chrome Auto-Update via Google Workspace or MDM policies ensures timely application of this and future fixes with minimal operational disruption.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WebXR is a browser API that enables virtual and augmented reality experiences directly within web content, with complex rendering and memory management pipelines that interface with device sensors and GPU subsystems. The root cause is CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable): memory is read before being explicitly initialized, potentially exposing adjacent or previously allocated memory contents to the calling context - in this case, the web page's JavaScript environment. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Google Chrome as an application, though the vulnerability is constrained to the Android platform, indicating a platform-specific code path within the WebXR subsystem rather than a cross-platform flaw. The Chromium project internally classified this as Low severity, suggesting limited practical leakage in most configurations.
