Impact

Insufficient policy enforcement in File System Access within Google Chrome before version 149.0.7827.155 allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to bypass site isolation through a specially crafted PDF file. The primary impact is the potential exposure of data from isolated web content, enabling cross‑site data leakage and potentially further exploitation.

Affected Systems

All stable channel releases of Google Chrome older than 149.0.7827.155 are affected, impacting users who encounter PDFs from untrusted sources.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score indicates a very low probability of exploitation and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. However, the Chromium severity rating is high and exploitation requires the attacker to first compromise the renderer process, likely through another local exploit, before delivering a crafted PDF to trigger the policy violation. Given the high impact that a site isolation bypass could cause, the overall risk remains significant until the patch is applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to at least version 149.0.7827.155.
  • Ensure that site isolation is enabled in Chrome by checking the 'Enable Site Isolation' setting or by launching Chrome with the '--enable-site-per-process' flag.
  • In environments that process untrusted PDFs, disable the built‑in PDF viewer or restrict PDF rendering to separate trusted processes.
