DescriptionCVE.org

Incomplete cleanup in Chromium in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to bypass web origin policy via a crafted Chrome extension. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Web origin policy bypass in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allows a remote attacker to violate the browser's same-origin isolation guarantees through a crafted Chrome extension delivered via social engineering. The CWE-459 incomplete cleanup root cause means residual state is left after a browsing or extension context transition, enabling a malicious extension to interact with origins it should not have access to - resulting in a High integrity impact per the CVSS vector. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the victim be running Google Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65 AND be socially engineered into installing a specifically crafted malicious Chrome extension - this is the explicit attack precondition stated in the CVE description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) captures a network-reachable, low-complexity attack with a high integrity impact, but the UI:R metric is critical: exploitation requires the victim to be socially engineered into installing a malicious Chrome extension, substantially reducing opportunistic exploitation likelihood. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, the patched stable release documented in the Chrome Releases 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.
