AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in Chrome’s handling of passwords allows a remote attacker who persuades a user to perform specific UI gestures to leak cross‑origin data from a crafted HTML page. This flaw is identified as CWE‑346. This vulnerability was rated high in Chromium’s internal severity, but the CVSS score is only 3.1, indicating limited impact beyond data leakage. Violating the same‑origin policy can expose sensitive credential information, but there is no indication of code execution or privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Google Chrome installations prior to version 151.0.7922.72. No further vendor or version detail is provided beyond the vendor/product name Google:Chrome.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.1 and an EPSS score of less than 1% suggest a low likelihood of widespread exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, reinforcing that it is not currently exploited in the wild. The likely attack vector involves a web page that convinces the user to perform UI gestures that trigger the leaking mechanism; exploitation requires user interaction, making it somewhat mitigable by user education.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update your Chrome browser to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the fix.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, configure Chrome to enforce site isolation or restrict cross‑origin access to password inputs via policy settings or extensions that block such requests.
  • Educate users to be cautious about unexpected UI gestures or interactions prompted by web pages, and to avoid visiting suspicious sites that could exploit this weakness.
