Impact

A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read in the WebGPU implementation of Google Chrome by serving a specially crafted HTML page. The read can expose contents from memory that the browser is not supposed to access, potentially leaking sensitive data. Chromium tags this as a Medium severity vulnerability, indicating the threat is notable but not immediately catastrophic.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects all installations of Google Chrome running versions prior to 149.0.7827.53, across all supported platforms where Chrome uses the WebGPU API.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit requires the victim to load the malicious HTML page, so it is a remote, client‑side vulnerability. The EPSS score for this issue is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Because the local WebGPU context can read unbounded memory, an attacker with access to the victim’s browser could obtain arbitrary data from the process. Mitigation is time‑critical, and lack of a public EPSS score suggests the exploitation probability is uncertain but non‑negligible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which contains the WebGPU out‑of‑bounds read fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable WebGPU by setting the Chrome flag or applying a policy to prevent its use.
  • Keep monitoring Google’s release notes and security advisories for additional updates or work‑arounds.
