AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the WebMCP component of Google Chrome; insufficient enforcement of policy checks allows a remote attacker to bypass the same‑origin policy by using a specially crafted HTML page. This flaw, identified as CWE‑346, permits the attacker to read or modify data that is normally restricted to a different origin, thereby compromising the confidentiality and integrity of web content.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome is the affected product. Versions earlier than 151.0.7922.72 are vulnerable; no other vendors or product variants are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 classifies the issue as medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low probability of widespread exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not included in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation is likely to be achieved by hosting a malicious HTML page that targets the victim’s browser, leveraging the weak policy checks in WebMCP without requiring further access or privileges.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or newer.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, deploy a Content Security Policy that blocks navigation to WebMCP URLs, reducing the attack surface.
  • Use Chrome enterprise policies or available flags to disable or restrict WebMCP usage until the official patch is applied.
