AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in the handling of extensions in Google Chrome prior to revision 149.0.7827.115. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can craft a malicious HTML page that allows the attacker to bypass site isolation barriers, thereby accessing or manipulating content from multiple sites. This undermines the browser’s security boundary and could lead to data leakage or credential theft.

Affected Systems

Affected across all installations of Google Chrome that are older than revision 149.0.7827.115, including Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and Android/iOS. The issue was identified in the stable channel and affects any user who has not applied the latest update.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The severity is classified as high. An attacker would need to have already gained control of the renderer process, which typically requires exploitation of another flaw or a user‑enabled configuration. Once that foothold is achieved, the crafted HTML page can bypass site isolation without additional privileges. Because the window of opportunity relies on a pre‑existing compromise, the likelihood of direct exploitation remains moderate but is non‑negligible for high‑value targets.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to revision 149.0.7827.115 or later via the official update mechanism.
  • Close all running browser instances to flush out any potentially compromised renderer processes.
  • Verify that the site isolation flag is enabled in chrome://policy or chrome://flags and that no policy disables it, ensuring the new security boundaries are active.
