Description
Side-channel information leakage in WebAudio in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
Published: 2026-06-30
Score: 6.5 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a side‑channel leakage in Chrome’s WebAudio component that, when triggered by a malicious page, exposes information across origin boundaries. It is an information‑exposure issue (CWE‑1300) and a timing side‑channel (CWE‑203), which together allow a remote attacker to infer data otherwise protected by same‑origin policy.

Affected Systems

All desktop Google Chrome builds compiled from the Chromium source tree before version 150.0.7871.47 are vulnerable. No other browsers or vendors are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 signals medium risk, while the EPSS score of < 1% indicates a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. It is inferred that an attacker must persuade a user to load a crafted page in a vulnerable Chrome instance; user interaction is required. The flaw does not enable code execution or denial of service, but it does compromise confidentiality across origin boundaries.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or a newer release, which removes the vulnerable WebAudio implementation
  • Disable the WebAudio API for untrusted origins to eliminate the timing side‑channel described by CWE‑203, for example by applying an enterprise policy or using a content‑security‑policy that blocks audio resource loading
  • Configure the browser or an extension to enforce strict origin separation for audio processing, thereby mitigating information exposure in line with CWE‑1300 recommendations
  • Disable WebAudio usage entirely via Chrome flags, enterprise policy, or a script until a patch is available to eliminate the side‑channel in vulnerable Chrome versions.
