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.

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to bypass same origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
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.
Technical ContextAI
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.
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.
