DescriptionCVE.org

Race condition in Workers 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Web Workers race condition in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 enables Same-Origin Policy bypass for attackers who have already achieved renderer process compromise. The flaw (CWE-367 TOCTOU) allows a timing attack between origin validation and Worker data access, permitting cross-origin data reads from within a compromised renderer. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Prior compromise of the Chrome renderer process is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description - this vulnerability functions as a second-stage exploit and cannot be leveraged independently without a separate renderer RCE or equivalent primitive. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) understates practical attack complexity: the description explicitly requires prior renderer compromise, a substantial multi-exploit prerequisite not reflected in AC:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate Chrome renderer process vulnerability to gain arbitrary code execution within the sandboxed renderer. From that position, they load a crafted HTML page that spawns a malicious Worker and triggers the TOCTOU race between origin validation and cross-origin data access, reading sensitive content (e.g., authentication tokens or financial data) from another origin the victim has open in the same browser session. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later via Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism or the vendor stable channel 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.
