Impact

Inappropriately implemented Geolocation handling in Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to serve a crafted HTML page that uses the Geolocation API to render a spoofed user interface. The flaw is categorized as CWE‑451.

Affected Systems

All Google Chrome desktop releases earlier than 150.0.7871.47 are affected. The vulnerability is limited to the Geolocation component of the browser.

Risk and Exploitability

Exploitation requires an initial compromise of the renderer process. Once that condition is met, the attacker can trigger the spoofed UI by loading a malicious page that exercises the Geolocation API. The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates medium severity, while an EPSS score of less than 1 % points to a low likelihood of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, further suggesting it is not a high‑profile target.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or newer to eliminate the vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the Geolocation feature via chrome://flags by setting #enable-geolocation to "Disabled" to prevent untrusted origins from using the API.
  • Apply a Content Security Policy that restricts or blocks access to the Geolocation API so that only trusted origins can request location data.
