DescriptionCVE.org

Externally controlled reference in QUIC in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Chrome's QUIC protocol implementation prior to version 152.0.7977.65 permits remote attackers to bypass the browser's web origin policy by directing a user to a crafted HTML page. The flaw is classified as CWE-610 (Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere), meaning an attacker can influence a reference within the QUIC layer to access cross-origin resources that should be restricted. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65 with QUIC enabled - QUIC is enabled by default in all standard Chrome configurations, so no special setup is needed on the victim's side. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) describes a network-exploitable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack requiring one user interaction step - navigating to a malicious page - with only partial confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that triggers Chrome's QUIC layer to follow an externally-controlled reference to a cross-origin resource. When a victim using Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 visits or is redirected to that page, the same-origin policy bypass allows the attacker's page to read limited data from a normally-inaccessible origin. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which resolves this vulnerability per the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
