Impact
The flaw arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the DevTools interface. A remote attacker can coerce a user into performing certain UI gestures, causing the browser to accept malicious network traffic and bypass the Same Origin Policy.
Affected Systems
Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 on all desktop platforms are vulnerable. The issue is present in the stable channel and has been noted in Chromium issue 499164652.
Risk and Exploitability
Chromium rates this vulnerability as High. No EPSS score is available and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation would require social engineering to convince the user to interact with the specified gestures, and no public exploit has been confirmed.
