2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to use Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 and actively navigate to an attacker-controlled HTML page - user interaction is mandatory (UI:R). The WebXR API must be accessible, which is the default in Chrome but requires a secure context (HTTPS delivery of the attacker page). No attacker-side authentication is required (PR:N). Exploitation is constrained by the need to induce victim navigation (not automatable per SSVC), the requirement for a modern Chrome version with WebXR support, and the fact that the specific memory contents disclosed are not guaranteed to include high-value data such as credentials or session tokens. The absence of integrity and availability impact (I:N/A:N) limits the attack to information gathering rather than direct system compromise.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 is driven by network accessibility (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no required privileges (PR:N), and high confidentiality impact (C:H), but requires user interaction (UI:R). Secondary signals substantially lower real-world urgency: EPSS at 0.16% (6th percentile) reflects very low observed exploitation probability historically. SSVC rates exploitation as none, automatable as no, and technical impact as partial - all pointing toward limited attacker interest and operational friction. Chromium's own internal severity of Low further suggests the C:H metric reflects a theoretical worst-case memory leak rather than a reliable path to high-value data. No KEV listing confirms no observed active exploitation. This is a classic high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk profile: the score overrepresents urgency relative to actual threat actor activity. Patch through normal update cadence.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts an HTML page that invokes the WebXR API in a manner that triggers the inappropriate implementation flaw, causing the Chrome renderer process to return memory contents into attacker-accessible JavaScript. The victim is directed to the page via a phishing link or malicious advertisement and must actively load it in an unpatched Chrome browser. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified, and SSVC rates the attack as not automatable, suggesting meaningful development effort is required to reliably weaponize the flaw.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Information disclosure in Google Chrome's WebXR subsystem prior to version 151.0.7922.72 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read potentially sensitive process memory contents by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates a network-accessible, low-complexity path to high confidentiality impact, though Chromium's internal severity rating of Low and an EPSS of 0.16% (6th percentile) reflect limited real-world exploitation risk. No public exploit code exists and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none, making this a watch-and-patch item rather than an emergency response trigger.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as confirmed by the vendor's stable channel update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will handle this for most consumer deployments; enterprise administrators should verify the deployed version via fleet management or GPO-based Chrome update policies and confirm 151.0.7922.72 or above is present. As a compensating control before patching in environments where WebXR is not operationally required, disabling WebXR via Chrome enterprise policy (ExtensionSettings or managed preferences) eliminates the attack surface entirely, with the trade-off of breaking any browser-based AR/VR applications. Given the low EPSS score, SSVC exploitation rating of none, and Chromium's own Low severity classification, emergency out-of-cycle deployment is not warranted.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in Chrome's WebXR implementation, the browser API enabling immersive VR and AR experiences through JavaScript. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) identifies the root cause as an inappropriate implementation - specifically, a failure to properly bound or sanitize memory access within the WebXR subsystem, allowing attacker-controlled page content to read adjacent process memory. CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 across Windows, macOS, and Linux. WebXR interfaces with hardware sensors and privileged browser internals, creating a wider-than-typical attack surface compared to standard DOM APIs; improper implementation in this layer can expose renderer process memory contents to JavaScript scope.
