MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must actively visit a crafted HTML page - passive exploitation without navigation is not possible per the UI:R CVSS metric. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N), no authentication to the attacker's site or to Chrome itself is required from the attacker's side. Exploitation is limited to contexts where the victim's Chrome browser can load WebXR-related content; platforms or configurations where WebXR is explicitly disabled or blocked by enterprise policy would reduce exposure. The attack does not require any pre-existing foothold on the victim system. Scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the attacker cannot leverage this vulnerability to break out of the Chrome renderer sandbox or affect other processes - impact is confined to information readable within the Chrome content process. |
| Impact | CVSS 3.1 scores this at 6.5 (Medium), driven by AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R and C:H/I:N/A:N - a low-friction network attack requiring only user interaction, with no privileges needed, but limited to confidentiality impact and no scope change. This contrasts with Chrome's own 'Low' internal severity rating, likely reflecting limited exploitability of the leaked data in practice. EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) confirms no meaningful exploitation activity at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so no confirmed active exploitation exists. The disconnect between CVSS C:H and Chrome's Low rating suggests the leaked information, while sensitive in principle, may be of limited attacker utility - possibly restricted to WebXR session metadata or sensor readings rather than authentication credentials or cross-origin page content. POC status is unknown; no exploit code is referenced in the provided data. Overall, this is a real but low-urgency finding: update Chrome as part of routine patch cadence rather than treating it as an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a malicious HTML page containing crafted WebXR API calls designed to trigger the information leak - for example, by enumerating XR device state or reading cross-origin data exposed through the XR subsystem. A victim using a vulnerable Chrome version visits the page (via phishing link, malicious ad, or compromised site), and the attacker's JavaScript silently exfiltrates the leaked information back to the attacker-controlled server. No public POC is referenced in the available data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 26, 2026
Information leak in Google Chrome's XR (WebXR) subsystem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain sensitive browser-context information when a victim visits a crafted HTML page. All Chrome desktop versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 are affected, with the vendor classifying severity as Low internally despite a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 driven by high confidentiality impact. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.17% (7th percentile), suggesting real-world risk remains limited; however, the zero-friction delivery vector - a single malicious page visit - warrants prompt patching given Chrome's ubiquitous deployment.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability. The stable channel release notes are published at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. Chrome auto-updates by default; administrators managing enterprise deployments should verify that auto-update is not blocked by policy and push the update via Google Admin Console or endpoint management tooling. As a compensating control prior to patching, enterprise administrators can disable WebXR API access via Chrome enterprise policy (XRSandboxEnabled or WebXRFrameRateEnabled controls) or block WebXR access through browser extension management, though this will break any legitimate WebXR-dependent internal applications. No workaround is required for environments where Chrome auto-update is functioning normally.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is Chrome's XR subsystem, which implements the WebXR Device API - the browser standard enabling access to virtual and augmented reality hardware (headsets, controllers, motion sensors) from web content. CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) indicates that the XR API leaks data that a web origin should not be able to read, likely cross-origin sensor readings, device capability details, or spatial tracking data accessible through insufficiently sandboxed WebXR calls. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome builds on all platforms prior to 152.0.7977.65. The root cause class - unauthorized information exposure - is consistent with an API that bridges privileged hardware state into the web content process without enforcing adequate origin isolation or permission gating.

Network delivery via crafted web page requires victim interaction but no attacker authentication; impact is confidentiality-only with no integrity or availability effect and no scope change.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.
