Missing authorization in HTTP2 in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to leak sensitive information via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Missing authorization in Google Chrome's HTTP/2 implementation prior to version 152.0.7977.65 exposes sensitive browser information to remote attackers via crafted network traffic. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication is required but high attack complexity, consistent with a need for specific network positioning or traffic crafting. …

Impact
Exfiltrate leaked sensitive browser data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network-adjacent or man-in-the-middle positioning to deliver crafted HTTP/2 traffic to a vulnerable Chrome client (AC:H from CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.9 score with AV:N/AC:H reflects a genuine but constrained threat: network-reachable with no authentication required, but high attack complexity limits opportunistic mass exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network positioning - for example, operating as a man-in-the-middle on a shared or controlled network segment - sends specially crafted HTTP/2 frames to a Chrome browser running a vulnerable version. The missing authorization check causes Chrome to disclose sensitive information (such as cross-origin data or session-related content) to the attacker-controlled endpoint without proper validation. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Chrome 152.0.7977.65. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
