AI Analysis

Impact

An absence of authorization in the Workers API used by Chrome's renderer process allows a remote attacker who has already compromised that process to bypass Chrome's site isolation protection. The attacker can supply a specially crafted PDF file that triggers the vulnerable code path, potentially exposing data or executing code across site boundaries. This flaw falls under CWE-862, which describes a missing authorization check.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers with versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 are affected. Updated releases beyond 155.0.8059.39 contain the fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating high severity, and is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The EPSS score is <1%, suggesting a low probability of exploitation. The requirement of a renderer compromise means that exploitation is unlikely to occur without an initial foothold. The attack vector is inferred to be a malicious PDF delivered to a user; the lack of an authorization check allows the attacker to cross site isolation boundaries once renderer access is achieved.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later, which includes the authorization fix for Workers.
  • Ensure that site isolation is enabled in Chrome’s settings to maintain boundary enforcement.
  • Consider disabling or restricting PDF file handling in the browser if separate PDF viewing mechanisms are not required.
