MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 and to be lured into visiting an attacker-crafted HTML page (UI:R), as the flaw is explicitly described as leveraging social engineering. No authentication or elevated privileges are needed (PR:N), and no special Chrome configuration or non-default feature is cited in the description. The primary limiting factors are the mandatory user interaction (the user must open the malicious page) and the Low technical impact (C:L/I:L/A:N), meaning a successful bypass yields only partial access to the restricted system functionality rather than full compromise. No active exploitation has been observed (SSVC Exploitation: none). |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite the medium CVSS base score of 5.4, and the multiple intelligence signals are mutually consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) describes network reach with low complexity and no privileges, but the required user interaction (UI:R) and the self-described 'social engineering' element materially cap real-world impact, and both confidentiality and integrity impact are only Low with no availability impact. Google/Chromium itself rated the security severity as Low. The EPSS score of 0.19% (8th percentile) indicates very low predicted exploitation likelihood, which aligns with the SSVC assessment (Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial) and the absence of any CISA KEV listing or public exploit code. All corroborating signals - vendor severity, EPSS, SSVC, and KEV status - point the same direction: a real but minor missing-authorization/access-restriction bypass that depends on tricking a user, not a widespread automatable threat. No signal is in tension here; the only caveat is the thin public technical detail (the Chromium issue tracker entry is typically access-restricted at disclosure time). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page and uses social engineering (phishing link, malicious ad, or lure) to get a Chrome user to visit it; the page abuses a missing authorization check to bypass a system access restriction enforced by the browser. No public exploit code has been identified, and success depends on the victim actually opening the attacker-controlled page, so impact is limited to partial information or integrity effects on that user's session. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026
Missing authorization in Google Chrome before 155.0.8059.39 allows a remote attacker to bypass system access restrictions by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, with only partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, the EPSS score is 0.19% (8th percentile), and CISA's SSVC assessment records no exploitation; the vendor has released a patched version.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later; this is the vendor-released patch and the primary fix. Chrome's stable channel update advisory is at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html, and the Chromium tracking issue is at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/553274076. Because the flaw requires user interaction via social engineering, ensure browser auto-update is enabled and verify the installed version via chrome://settings/help; no specific feature toggle or configuration workaround is identified in the available data, so updating and user awareness of crafted pages are the practical mitigations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the Google Chrome browser component. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Chrome builds before 155.0.8059.39. The attack path requires the victim to open a crafted HTML page (UI:R) delivered via social engineering; the vulnerable code fails to enforce an authorization check, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass system access restrictions. The technical impact is partial (C:L/I:L/A:N), so a successful bypass does not yield full system compromise. The Chromium issue is tracked as 553274076, and the stable channel advisory is the Chrome releases blog.
