AI Analysis

Impact

An inappropriate implementation in Chrome's parser allows a remote attacker to bypass the content security policy by serving a crafted HTML page. The consequence is that a user who opens such a page can execute arbitrary scripts or load malicious resources despite the browser's CSP, potentially leading to data theft, malware injection, or session hijacking. This flaw is characterized by CWE-693 and CWE-791 weaknesses.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected. All platforms using the default stable browser installation are at risk until the patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 classifies the vulnerability as low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a user to visit a malicious web page that contains the crafted content; therefore the attack vector is a remote web-based phishing or social‑engineering scenario.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later.
  • If an immediate update cannot be performed, apply enterprise policy settings to enforce a stricter content security policy for all sites, reducing the window of opportunity for exploitation.
  • Block or restrict access to known malicious sites and educate users about the risks of visiting untrusted web pages.
