AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is caused by a Skia buffer overread that permits a local attacker to read memory beyond the bounds of a legitimate buffer. When a user opens a maliciously crafted file, the overread can expose sensitive data from Chrome’s process address space. The flaw falls under CWE‑125 and could compromise the confidentiality of information stored in the browser at the time of access.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on all platforms before version 155.0.8059.39 is affected. Updating Chrome to 155.0.8059.39 or later removes the issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The CVSS score of 3.3 indicates low severity. The flaw is a local vulnerability that requires a social engineering effort to trick a user into opening a crafted file. A successful exploit would result in local data leakage but does not provide remote code execution or broader system compromise.
