AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw resides in the way Chrome's GPU subsystem handles certain rendering operations. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can load a specially crafted HTML page and cause the GPU code to leak data that should be confined to a different origin. This breach results in the exposure of confidential information from other web pages and is classified under CWE‑346, indicating missing authorization checks.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers running any version older than 151.0.7922.72 are affected. The fix is included in all releases dated 151.0.7922.72 and later, so users of the stable channel after that date have already received the remediation.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 labels this vulnerability as medium severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% denotes a low likelihood of exploitation at the current time, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. To exploit this issue an attacker must first compromise a renderer process, after which a maliciously crafted page can extract cross‑origin data. Because the initial compromise step is non‑trivial, the overall exploitability risk for most environments remains low. However, organizations that expose users to potentially compromised renderer processes should treat the situation as a moderate concern.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to the latest stable release, which includes the GPU implementation fix released in July 2026.
  • Disable hardware acceleration in Chrome’s settings or via chrome://flags to reduce exposure to GPU‑based data leaks, especially while updated versions are pending.
  • Keep the operating system’s GPU drivers up‑to‑date, as updated drivers mitigate many GPU‑related side‑channel issues.
