Renderer-compromise prerequisite elevates AC to H; same-origin policy bypass crosses security boundaries warranting S:C; integrity impact added for potential cross-origin write capability.

Incorrect authorization in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Incorrect authorization in the Chrome Extensions subsystem (CWE-863) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass the web origin policy by delivering a crafted HTML page, affecting all Chrome desktop versions prior to 152.0.7977.65. Chromium rated this High severity despite the NVD CVSS base score of 4.3, because the same-origin policy bypass has meaningful privacy implications even though it requires a pre-compromised renderer as a prerequisite. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker has already achieved code execution within the Chrome renderer process - either via a separate, concurrently exploited renderer vulnerability or through another pre-existing compromise mechanism. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N = 4.3) materially understates the attack complexity: the description explicitly requires a pre-compromised Chrome renderer process, which contradicts AC:L and PR:N. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker first exploits a separate renderer-process vulnerability in a victim's Chrome browser (via a malicious or compromised website), gaining code execution within the sandboxed renderer. From that position, they serve a crafted HTML page that invokes the flawed Extensions authorization path, bypassing the same-origin policy and reading sensitive cross-origin resources - such as authenticated session data or page content from a banking or intranet origin open in another tab. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed fixed release per the Chrome stable-channel update advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
