Impact: Remote data leak via cross‑origin WebAudio in Chrome
Action: Patch Immediately
AI Analysis

Impact

A race condition in the WebAudio component of Google Chrome allows a remote attacker to craft an HTML page that can leak cross‑origin audio buffer data. The vulnerability enables the attacker to read confidential information that was originally protected by the same‑origin policy, potentially exposing sensitive audio or other data contained in the browser context.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 are affected. Only the stable Chrome browser is listed as a target; no other Google products are indicated.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is medium‑severity according to Chromium’s assessment. Attackers would need to deliver a malicious web page to the victim’s browser and exploit the race condition to read audio buffers. No EPSS score is available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating it is not known to be actively exploited in the wild as of this analysis. However, the possibility of cross‑origin data leakage warrants prompt attention, especially for users handling sensitive information in Chrome.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later, which contains the race‑condition fix.
  • If patching cannot be performed immediately, limit WebAudio usage on untrusted sites by applying a Content Security Policy that blocks WebAudio API usage or by configuring the Chrome policy to disable WebAudio for non‑trusted origins.
  • After patching, clear all site data, cookies, and cached audio buffers to eliminate any residual cross‑origin leakage potential.
