Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must deliver a crafted HTML page and induce the target user to open it in a vulnerable Chrome browser - active user interaction (UI:R) is required, limiting fully automated exploitation. … 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:H/I:N/A:N reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no attacker privileges but dependent on user interaction (visiting a crafted page), with confidentiality impact confined to the vulnerable browser session. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page on a controlled server and lures a Chrome user to visit it through phishing, malvertising, or a compromised website. Upon page load, the malicious content triggers the incorrect authorization logic in WebProtect, causing Chrome to improperly permit access to sensitive information that should be protected by cross-origin or security boundary controls, which is then exfiltrated to the attacker. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later immediately; this is the vendor-confirmed fix per the 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.
