Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires two sequential conditions: (1) the attacker must have already achieved compromise of the Chrome renderer process via a separate vulnerability - this is explicitly stated in the description and captured by AC:H in the CVSS vector; and (2) the user must interact with a crafted HTML page (UI:R). The vulnerability is Windows-platform-specific; Chrome on macOS or Linux is not affected per the description scope. No authentication is required from the attacker's perspective (PR:N), but the renderer compromise prerequisite is a significant technical barrier. Exploitation is limited to confidentiality impact - no integrity or availability impact is indicated. The CredentialProvider integration must be present and active, which is the default configuration for Chrome on Windows.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects a constrained but serious confidentiality impact. The AC:H metric is the critical signal: exploitation requires the attacker to have already achieved renderer process compromise, which itself demands a separate, often high-complexity vulnerability. Chromium's internal 'Low' severity designation aligns with this - the confused deputy step is a chained, post-exploitation technique rather than an entry-point flaw. No EPSS data is provided in the source intelligence; no KEV listing exists; no public POC has been identified. Real-world risk is moderate-to-low for most environments: a threat actor capable of chaining a renderer RCE with this confused deputy step is sophisticated, and the credential leakage impact is meaningful but bounded by Chrome's sandbox context. Organizations handling high-value credentials in Chrome profiles on Windows workstations should prioritize patching nonetheless.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker first exploits a separate renderer RCE vulnerability - for example, a V8 JavaScript engine flaw - by luring a Windows user to a crafted HTML page. With renderer process control established, the attacker then abuses the confused deputy relationship in Chrome's CredentialProvider, causing it to relay stored credential data (passwords, tokens) back to attacker-controlled code within the renderer. This two-stage chain is within reach of sophisticated threat actors targeting credential theft on managed Windows endpoints.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Confused deputy vulnerability in Chrome's CredentialProvider component on Windows allows a remote attacker who has already established renderer process compromise to leak sensitive credential information via a crafted HTML page. Affected versions are Chrome for Windows prior to 152.0.7977.75. Google rates this Low severity internally, though the CVSS Confidentiality impact is scored High due to the potential for credential disclosure; the AC:H vector reflects the significant prerequisite of prior renderer compromise. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on Windows to version 152.0.7977.75 or later. This is a vendor-confirmed patch distributed via Chrome's stable channel update, announced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism should apply this transparently; administrators managing enterprise fleets should verify deployment via Chrome Browser Cloud Management or Group Policy. As a compensating control for environments that cannot immediately patch, blocking access to untrusted web pages via proxy or DNS filtering reduces the UI:R trigger surface, though this does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Disabling Chrome as the Windows Credential Provider integration (if not required) would remove the confused deputy pathway but may impact single sign-on workflows.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-441 (Confused Deputy / Unintended Proxy-Intermediary) describes a scenario where a legitimately privileged component is deceived into acting on behalf of a less-privileged or compromised caller. Chrome's CredentialProvider is a Windows-integrated component that bridges Chrome's password management with the Windows Credential Provider interface, used for credential storage and retrieval within the OS. When the renderer process is already compromised - typically via a renderer RCE - the attacker can abuse the trust relationship between the sandboxed renderer and the CredentialProvider, causing the latter to relay sensitive credential data back to attacker-controlled code. This is a sandbox-adjacent information disclosure in the Chrome privilege separation model, not a standalone initial-access vector.
