Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Incorrectly specified target
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit an attacker-controlled or compromised web page containing crafted HTML (UI:R), reached via social engineering such as phishing or a malicious link - there is no fully silent drive-by path described. No authentication is required (PR:N) and the attack works against standard Chrome installations prior to 155.0.8059.39 with no special configuration noted. The key limiting factors are the mandatory user interaction and the low technical impact: only a cross-origin data leak (confidentiality), with no code execution, integrity, or availability effect. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being network-reachable. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3) shows remote, unauthenticated reach with low attack complexity, but exploitation hinges on user interaction (UI:R) and yields only limited confidentiality impact (C:L) with no integrity or availability impact. All corroborating signals point the same direction: Google/Chromium rated the security severity 'Low', CISA's SSVC framework records Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, and Technical Impact: partial. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code was referenced - there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are consistent rather than conflicting: a low-severity, interaction-dependent cross-origin information leak that is not automatable. Note that EPSS data is missing from the input, so the quantitative exploitation-probability dimension could not be factored in; however, given the UI requirement and 'none' exploitation status, widespread opportunistic exploitation is unlikely. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page that abuses incorrect reference resolution in Chrome's Core and uses social engineering (e.g., a phishing link or malicious ad) to lure a victim into visiting it. When the page loads, it leaks limited data belonging to another origin that the victim's browser has access to. No public proof-of-concept or exploit code is referenced in the available data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome before 155.0.8059.39 stems from incorrect reference resolution in the browser's Core component, allowing a remote attacker to read data belonging to another origin through a crafted HTML page. Exploitation is not silent: it requires the victim to visit an attacker-controlled or compromised page (UI:R), typically reached via phishing or a malicious link, and no privileges are needed on the target (PR:N). The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with no memory corruption, code execution, integrity, or availability effect, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis - this is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being network-reachable.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39 - upgrade to that build or later via the stable channel (chrome://settings/help or the enterprise update mechanism), and verify the reported version after restarting all browser processes. The fix is documented in the Chrome release advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html. No server-side workaround fully closes the issue because the flaw is in client-side reference resolution; practical compensating controls are browser hardening and user-side measures, each with trade-offs: enable Safe Browsing enhanced protection and phishing-resistant email/web filtering to reduce the chance a user reaches a crafted page (does not eliminate the flaw and may block legitimate content), restrict high-value internal web apps to an allow-listed set of origins and enforce strict CORS/COOP/COEP and SameSite policy on sensitive services to limit what a cross-origin leak can reach (may break embedded third-party widgets), and keep browser extensions and Enterprise policies such as URL block-listing in place (adds administrative overhead). If patching must be delayed, treat the issue as low urgency given the mandatory user interaction and confidentiality-only impact, but prioritize the upgrade on endpoints where a browser session carries access to sensitive multi-tenant or internal data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-706, Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference, mapped to Chrome's Core subsystem. Reference resolution governs how the browser maps names, URLs, or other identifiers to the correct internal object or origin; when this mapping is done incorrectly, a crafted HTML document can cause one origin to resolve a reference in a way that exposes data belonging to a different origin. Such logic errors are distinct from memory-safety bugs: they do not grant arbitrary code execution and are confined to information disclosure, which is why the severity is rated Low by Chromium and CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). The affected package is tracked as CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with all releases prior to 155.0.8059.39 vulnerable, and the issue is documented in the Chromium tracker (issue 556211265) and the Chrome stable channel advisory.
