chromium-browser: Inappropriate implementation in MHTML

Published Jun 4, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Inappropriate implementation in MHTML in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

Google Chrome improperly processes MHTML content, enabling a remote attacker that convinces a user to perform certain UI gestures to leak data from a different origin. The flaw results in information disclosure rather than code execution. The effect is the unauthorized read of cross‑origin data exposed through a crafted HTML page. The weakness aligns with improper handling of data across origins.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 are affected. The vulnerability exists in the MHTML implementation and applies to the standard desktop releases of Chrome.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.5 and the EPSS score is < 1%, indicating limited or unknown exploitation prevalence. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires a user to interact with a malicious page and perform specific UI gestures to trigger the leak, suggesting a moderate difficulty channel. While the Chromium severity is medium, the potential for cross‑origin data exposure represents a tangible confidentiality risk for affected users.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later.
  • Disable MHTML import or handling via Chrome policies if an update is not immediately possible.
  • Educate users to avoid interacting with suspicious web pages that could trigger UI gestures to exploit the flaw.
