AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw arises from incorrect handling of the Extensions user interface in Google Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. It enables a user‑experience cross‑site scripting (UXSS) attack whereby an attacker, after getting a user to install a malicious extension, can trigger the vulnerability by navigating to a specially crafted web page. In that state the attacker can inject arbitrary scripts or HTML that execute in the browser context.

Affected Systems

Any installation of Google Chrome older than version 150.0.7871.47, including all desktop releases on Windows, macOS, and Linux, is affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.2, categorizing it as a medium‑severity issue, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to first persuade a user to install an untrusted extension and then have the user visit a maliciously crafted web page; the outcome is execution of arbitrary script or HTML within the browser environment.
