AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in the VideoCapture feature of Google Chrome that allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the GPU process to read arbitrary memory in the process. The attacker can feed a specially crafted HTML page to trigger the memory read, potentially exposing sensitive data. It is classified as Memory Access Violation (CWE-125).

Affected Systems

Users running Google Chrome on any platform that enables GPU acceleration are potentially vulnerable, but the CVE payload does not specify which versions contain the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit requires the attacker to first gain control of the GPU process, a step that is non‑trivial and may limit real‑world exploitation. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. Given its CVSS score of 5.3, it represents a medium‑severity risk that can lead to data leakage; administrators should address it promptly until patched.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to the latest available version.
  • Install all available security updates for Chrome immediately.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable GPU acceleration or block the VideoCapture API using browser policy to prevent the memory read.
