Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation targets the Autofill feature of Google Chrome on versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 and requires the attacker to host a specially crafted HTML page AND successfully apply social engineering to get the victim to visit and interact with it (UI:R). The limiting factors that reduce realistic risk: the attack cannot succeed silently - it depends on victim interaction with an Autofill-related prompt/flow, it depends on the victim having relevant sensitive data stored in Chrome Autofill for the disclosure to be meaningful, and it is defeated entirely by updating to 155.0.8059.39 or later (automatic for most Chrome installs). There is no indication the flaw works against a fully patched browser or without any user action.

Impact

The input presents a significant internal conflict that must be resolved before prioritization. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) indicates full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, AND availability - yet both the Chromium security severity label ('Medium') and the description ('allowed a remote attacker ... to obtain sensitive information') point to a confidentiality-only information-disclosure issue with NO integrity or availability impact. This 8.8 is almost certainly the generic high score auto-assigned to Chrome CVEs rather than a flaw-specific assessment; treat the C:H/I:H/A:H component as unreliable and weight the vendor's Medium rating and the CWE-863 (incorrect authorization) classification more heavily. On exploitation signals: no EPSS score is provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit (POC) is indicated - so per the precision rules this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Exploitation also requires user interaction (UI:R) and explicit social engineering, which materially lowers real-world risk versus a drive-by. Net assessment: this is a real but moderate-priority issue - a widely deployed product (Chrome) elevates aggregate exposure, but the medium technical impact, required user interaction, social-engineering dependency, and absence of any exploitation evidence argue against emergency treatment. Patch on the normal Chrome update cadence; the browser's auto-update will remediate most of the fleet. SSVC-style read: exploitation=none, automatable=no (requires human social engineering), technical impact=partial.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker lures a victim to a crafted HTML page (e.g., via phishing link or malicious ad) and uses social-engineering cues to induce the victim to interact with an Autofill prompt. Due to incorrect authorization in Autofill, the page improperly obtains sensitive autofill data (such as saved addresses or form values) that it should not have access to. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and user interaction is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Google Chrome's Autofill feature (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker (PR:N) to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page, but exploitation requires social engineering to trick the victim into visiting and interacting with the page (UI:R). The independent assessment limits the impact to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect, and exploitation further depends on the victim having relevant data stored in Autofill; no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified. A vendor patch is available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39 or later; Chrome's automatic update mechanism typically applies this fix. If immediate update is not possible, disable Autofill for sensitive data or avoid storing sensitive information in Chrome Autofill, though this reduces convenience. Enterprise administrators can use policies to disable Autofill (e.g., AutofillAddressEnabled, AutofillCreditCardEnabled) as a compensating control, but this may impact user productivity. Refer to the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), meaning the Autofill feature fails to properly verify that a request or action is authorized, potentially permitting a crafted HTML page to read stored autofill data. Autofill is a browser convenience feature that stores form data such as addresses, credit cards, and credentials; incorrect authorization checks could allow a malicious page to access this data when the user interacts with an Autofill prompt or flow. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) overstates impact compared to the independent assessment (C:L/I:N/A:N), which aligns with an information-disclosure-only issue requiring user interaction and no integrity or availability loss. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates broad applicability, but the fixed version is 155.0.8059.39. The Chromium security severity is Medium, and the issue is tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/540072162.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect authorization in Autofill in Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Google Chrome's Autofill feature, prior to version 155.0.8059.39, contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to obtain sensitive information stored in Autofill via a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires social engineering to trick a user into visiting and interacting with the page, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Given Chrome's widespread enterprise deployment, leadership should prioritize patching to protect user data and maintain compliance.
