Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a user running an unpatched version of Google Chrome (any version prior to 152.0.7977.65) to visit a crafted HTML page under attacker control, as confirmed by the UI:R metric in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium) is driven by network accessibility (AV:N) and no required privileges (PR:N), but is substantially tempered by required user interaction (UI:R) and impact confined to limited integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability breach (C:N/A:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers a malicious domain and serves a crafted HTML page that exploits the incorrect authorization logic in Chrome's Controls component. A target user is lured to visit this page - via phishing email link or malicious advertisement - and upon interacting with the page, the origin policy check is bypassed, allowing the page to perform limited cross-origin write operations against content from a different origin that would otherwise be protected. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, as detailed in the vendor stable channel update 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.
