AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the way the DataTransfer object is handled in Google Chrome allows a malicious website to access data that originated from a different origin. Through a specially crafted HTML page, an attacker can trigger a data transfer that leaks this cross‑origin information to the page, thereby exposing sensitive data to an unintended third party. The weakness results in an information disclosure vulnerability without immediate impact on code execution or direct denial of service.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers running versions earlier than 151.0.7922.72 are affected. The vulnerability specifically targets the DataTransfer implementation in the stable channel of Chrome on desktop platforms.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating low severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1%, implying a low probability of exploitation. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack can be carried out remotely from a compromised web page, leveraging standard browser features so that no privileged access is required to trigger the data leakage.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to apply the DataTransfer implementation fix.
  • Enable Chrome’s automatic updates or configure enterprise policy to enforce the stable channel, ensuring timely application of future patches.
  • If immediate update is not possible, install a browser extension that restricts clipboard access or enforce strict site isolation to mitigate cross‑origin data leakage until the patch arrives.
