8.3 HIGH

AC:H reflects mandatory pre-compromised renderer prerequisite; S:C and C/I/A:H reflect full sandbox escape to OS scope; PR:N because the initial attacker needs no credentials.

DescriptionCVE.org

Improper privilege management in Navigation in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process and leveraged social engineering to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape via improper privilege management in Chrome's Navigation component allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the Chrome sandbox and execute arbitrary code at OS level. Affected versions are all Chrome releases prior to 152.0.7977.65 across desktop platforms. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Impact
Execute arbitrary code at OS-level Chrome process privileges

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two concurrent prerequisites: (1) the attacker must have already achieved code execution within the Chrome renderer process - meaning a separate renderer-level vulnerability must first be exploited - and (2) the victim must be socially engineered into a specific interaction with a crafted HTML page (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.3 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) captures both the severity of impact and the non-trivial prerequisites. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate renderer-level vulnerability in Chrome to gain code execution within the sandboxed renderer process, then serves a crafted HTML page that triggers the Navigation privilege mismanagement flaw while using social engineering to induce the required user interaction (such as a deceptive prompt or redirect). Once the Navigation flaw is triggered with the compromised renderer, the attacker escapes the Chrome sandbox and achieves arbitrary code execution at the OS privilege level of the Chrome process. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this issue. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI
