AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from an inappropriate implementation in the Extensions subsystem of Google Chrome versions earlier than 150.0.7871.47, allowing an attacker who has already gained control of the renderer process to serve a crafted HTML page that mimics the browser’s user interface. This flaw, identified as CWE‑451, does not provide code‑execution privileges but can deceive users into revealing credentials or sensitive information by presenting fake login prompts or other UI elements.

Affected Systems

All users running Google Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 are affected. The issue requires an existing compromise of the renderer process, so the vulnerability is limited to systems where an extension or malicious content has already executed code within Chrome’s rendering engine.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates low overall severity, and the EPSS score of <1% suggests exploitation is unlikely. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attacker must first compromise the renderer process, the exploit requires a pre‑existing foothold and does not allow direct remote code execution; thus the overall risk remains low.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to Google Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or newer.
  • Disable or remove extensions that inject custom JavaScript or otherwise alter page content unless they are explicitly trusted.
  • Configure enterprise or group policy to restrict installations to vetted extensions and block unknown or unsigned extensions.
  • Monitor for signs of renderer process compromise through system logs or security monitoring solutions, and investigate suspected malicious extension activity.
