| Exploitation Conditions | Victim must be running Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 and must actively navigate to (or be redirected to) an attacker-controlled HTML page - user interaction is confirmed required by the CVSS UI:R metric. The Cast feature must be present in the browser, which it is by default in all standard Chrome installations. Exploitation does not require any authentication or pre-existing access (PR:N per CVSS vector). Limiting factors: the attack is bounded to limited integrity violations only (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact (C:N, A:N) and no scope change (S:U), meaning the attacker cannot read cross-origin data or execute code - only perform constrained cross-origin writes or manipulations within the Cast processing context. The mandatory user interaction (visiting a malicious page) prevents fully automated or drive-by-passive exploitation. |
| Impact | All available signals consistently point to low real-world priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that nonetheless requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page), produces only limited integrity impact, and causes no confidentiality or availability harm with no scope change. EPSS at 0.18% (8th percentile) places exploitation probability in the bottom decile of tracked CVEs. There is no CISA KEV listing, no public POC identified, and Chromium's own severity classification is 'Low' - an internal signal from the team with full access to the bug details (Chromium issue 519735808). No conflicting signals are present; this is a consistent, low-risk picture. Standard patch cycle timelines are appropriate rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page containing malicious content targeting Chrome's Cast input validation flaw, then socially engineers a victim into visiting it - via phishing link, malicious advertisement, or compromised website. When the unpatched Chrome browser (prior to 151.0.7922.72) processes the page, the Cast component fails to properly validate the input, enabling a limited bypass of the Same-Origin Policy that allows the attacker to perform constrained cross-origin integrity actions otherwise blocked by the browser. No public exploit code has been identified, and the required user interaction (visiting the page) raises the practical bar for mass exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Same-origin policy bypass in Google Chrome's Cast component allows remote attackers to perform limited cross-origin integrity actions against victims who visit a crafted HTML page. All Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected across Windows, macOS, and Linux. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public exploit code has been identified, and Chromium's own internal severity rating is Low - signals that align with the very low EPSS score of 0.18% at the 8th percentile.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism will deliver this patch automatically to most consumer installations; enterprise administrators should push this update via Google Admin Console or their preferred endpoint management tooling. As a compensating control prior to patching, enterprises can disable the Cast feature entirely using the Chrome enterprise policy CastEnabled=false - note this removes all Cast/Chromecast streaming functionality as a trade-off. Given Chromium's own Low severity classification, EPSS at the 8th percentile, and absence of known exploits, this fix fits within a routine monthly patch cycle for most organizations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Cast subsystem - the browser component responsible for streaming content to Chromecast and compatible display devices. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): attacker-controlled input from a crafted HTML page is not adequately sanitized before being processed by the Cast component, allowing it to subvert the Same-Origin Policy (SOP). SOP is a foundational browser security boundary that prevents scripts loaded from one origin from reading or modifying resources belonging to a different origin. Bypassing it - even with limited scope - can enable unauthorized cross-origin writes or resource manipulation. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome releases across platforms prior to 151.0.7922.72, as confirmed by EUVD-2026-50908.

Network-delivered SOP bypass requires victim to visit a crafted page (UI:R, AV:N, AC:L); no authentication needed; impact limited to integrity only with no scope change.
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.
