Impact

A crafted HTML page can trigger a flaw in Google Chrome’s Enterprise implementation, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑94, meaning an unsafe code execution issue. The attacker could run code with the privileges of the browser process, potentially escalating to system compromise.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects any installation of Google Chrome with a version earlier than 151.0.7922.72, regardless of operating system, because the issue resides in the core rendering engine.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 marks this as a high‑severity weakness. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that exploitation is currently rare, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nevertheless, it can be triggered remotely through a specially crafted web page and does not require any user interaction. Until the vendor releases a patch, the risk remains significant for systems that have not upgraded.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to receive the vendor’s fix.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, enable Chrome’s site‑isolation and sandbox features to mitigate the risk of code execution from untrusted content.
  • Until the update is applied, avoid opening or downloading untrusted HTML files or visiting suspicious websites in Chrome.
