Impact

Incorrect authorization in the ServiceWorker subsystem of Google Chrome versions older than 156.0.8078.47 permits a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass site isolation through a specially crafted HTML page. This flaw is a CWE‑863 weakness allowing the attacker to elevate privileges within the isolated context, potentially enabling privilege escalation or remote code execution on the host machine.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Google Chrome. All Chrome releases dated prior to 156.0.8078.47 are vulnerable. Users must ensure their browser is upgraded to 156.0.8078.47 or later to receive the patch that fixes the authorization flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates a critical severity. EPSS is <1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote exploitation through a malicious web page that tricks the victim into visiting a site serving a crafted HTML payload. If the exploit succeeds, the attacker can bypass site isolation, potentially granting higher privileges and enabling further attacks such as data theft or system compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to install the memory corruption fix.
  • If the update cannot be applied immediately, disable ServiceWorker functionality for untrusted sites via Chrome policies or site settings to reduce the risk of exploitation.
  • Check the Chromium issue tracker and Google release notes regularly for additional workarounds or future fixes.
