AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a missing authorization check in Chrome's PerformanceAPIs. When a crafted HTML page is rendered, the browser may expose performance metrics from other origins because the API does not verify caller permissions. This flaw allows an attacker to obtain cross‑origin data.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are installations of Google Chrome prior to version 156.0.8078.47. All users running the stable channel older than that revision are at risk. No specific vendor patch list is provided, but the update that addresses the issue is released in that version and later releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates a high‑severity weakness. The flaw is a missing authorization check in the PerformanceAPIs that allows a malicious web page to obtain cross‑origin data, a classic authorization flaw (CWE‑862). The EPSS score of <1% suggests low current exploitation probability, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Nevertheless, the attack vector remains a malicious web page that a user visits, so risk is significant for users who load untrusted content.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, launch Chrome with any available flags that disable PerformanceAPIs or use chrome://flags to turn the feature off, and avoid visiting untrusted web pages.
  • Continuously monitor Google’s release notes and security advisories, and apply subsequent patches as they become available.
