DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation in Sync in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sensitive information disclosure in Google Chrome's Sync component (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to extract synchronized user data via crafted network traffic. The flaw stems from improper input validation (CWE-20) in the Sync subsystem, which handles cross-device synchronization of browser data including passwords, history, and tokens. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Achieve MitM position on victim's network
Delivery
Identify active Chrome Sync session
Exploit
Inject crafted malformed Sync protocol traffic
Execution
Trigger input validation bypass in Chrome Sync handler
Impact
Extract sensitive synchronized user data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires Chrome Sync to be enabled and actively communicating with Google's Sync backend - the default state for any Chrome user signed into a Google account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 5.9 (Medium) is calibrated by the AC:H constraint against an otherwise permissive attack profile (AV:N, PR:N, UI:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with man-in-the-middle positioning on a network traversed by a victim's Chrome Sync traffic - such as a rogue Wi-Fi access point or a compromised network segment - crafts malformed Sync protocol messages that bypass input validation. The Chrome client processes the adversarial payload, and improperly validated data paths expose sensitive synchronized content such as saved passwords or session tokens back to the attacker. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 152.0.7977.65. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
