AI Analysis

Impact

The CVE describes an inappropriate implementation in Chrome’s download handling on Windows that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to perform specific UI gestures after visiting a crafted HTML page. An input validation issue (CWE‑20) is leveraged, and the flaw depends on the user granting download consent. Chromium rates this as medium severity with a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a high‑impact vulnerability.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions on Windows released prior to 150.0.7871.47 are affected. The fix is included in the stable channel update 150.0.7871.47 and later releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1% and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, but the CVSS rating of 7.5 signals that an exploit can lead to full system compromise. Attackers need the victim to interact with a malicious page and perform a minimal UI gesture; once triggered, the flaw allows arbitrary code execution with the browser’s privileges. The low EPSS suggests a limited exploitation risk at present, but the high impact warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to eliminate the flaw.
  • Enable automatic updates so new patches are applied without user action.
  • Apply input validation measures to the download handling logic (CWE‑20) to ensure that user inputs and UI gestures are validated refraining from clicking suspicious links.
