AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an inappropriate implementation in DOMStorage that allowed a remote attacker to leak cross‑origin data via a crafted HTML page. This flaw can lead to confidentiality‑only impact, exposing data that should have been isolated between origins. The weakness is identified as CWE‑346.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected. Users of the stable channel running any build before that revision are at risk. The issue applies to all platforms that ship the affected Chrome binary.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a low‑severity issue, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is unlikely at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is through a remote attacker serving a malicious web page that includes JavaScript or HTML that accesses the DOMStorage API. An attacker could retrieve data stored by another origin if the storage interface is improperly sanitized.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later.
  • If an update is delayed, disable or restrict DOMStorage usage for cross‑origin contexts by configuring Chrome policies or command‑line flags such as --disable-dom-storage, thereby reducing the attack surface until the patch is applied.
  • Keep monitoring Google’s security advisory channels to receive the latest information and implement the fix as soon as it is available.
