Prior renderer compromise is a hard prerequisite raising AC to H; origin policy bypass crosses security domains warranting S:C with limited cross-origin read (C:L) and full integrity bypass (I:H).

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect authorization in StorageAccessAPI in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

StorageAccessAPI incorrect authorization in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass web origin policy via a crafted HTML page, achieving high-integrity impact against cross-origin resources. The flaw (CWE-863) is a post-exploitation second-stage primitive: it cannot be leveraged without a preceding renderer compromise, substantially narrowing its realistic threat scope beyond what the CVSS 6.5 score implies. …

Access or manipulate cross-origin storage and resources

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two explicit conditions: first, the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process through a separate vulnerability - this is a stated prerequisite in the CVE description, not an inferred condition, and it is the primary limiting factor on real-world exploitability. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N overstates standalone exploitability by assigning AC:L and PR:N without accounting for the explicit prerequisite stated in the description: the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process before this flaw is reachable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has separately achieved code execution in a Chrome renderer process - for example through an unpatched renderer memory corruption vulnerability - then directs the compromised renderer to load a crafted HTML page that invokes the StorageAccessAPI with a malformed or unauthorized request. Chrome's flawed authorization logic in the API grants access to cross-origin storage it should deny, allowing the attacker to read session storage, cookies, or other first-party data belonging to a different web origin loaded in the same browser. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, the vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome 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.
