Impact

A flaw in the DataTransfer implementation of Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker to provoke a user into performing specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page, causing the browser to expose cross‑origin data that it ordinarily protects. This information disclosure can reveal private data such as clipboard contents or data from other origin contexts. The weakness is classified as CWE-346.

Affected Systems

Affected vendors and products include Google Chrome. The vulnerability is present in all releases before Chrome 151.0.7922.72. Users running these earlier versions are at risk. The patch is applied in Chrome 151.0.7922.72 and later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a medium level of severity. However, the EPSS score is less than 1% and it is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting the likelihood of exploitation is low. The attack requires user interaction and a crafted webpage; a remote attacker would need to convince a user to open the page and perform the required gestures. Given those prerequisites, the practical risk is moderate but still warrants prompt remediation.
