Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Host crafted HTML page on attacker-controlled domain
Delivery
Deliver link to victim via phishing or social engineering

Victim navigates to page in unpatched Chrome
Execution
Crafted page triggers incorrect DOM authorization check
Persist
Restricted cross-origin or sensitive DOM data is read by attacker script
Impact
Exfiltrate leaked data to attacker server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit a crafted HTML page controlled by the attacker (UI:R per CVSS vector), making passive drive-by exploitation without any user navigation impossible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a high confidentiality impact, but several signals materially lower the realized risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers a domain and hosts a crafted HTML page that exploits the DOM authorization flaw to read cross-origin or otherwise restricted data from the victim's browser session. The attacker distributes a link via phishing email or social media; when a Chrome user on an unpatched version visits the page, the browser incorrectly permits the page's JavaScript to access sensitive information and exfiltrate it to the attacker's server. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome stable channel release 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.
