AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability results from an inappropriate implementation within the Frame component of Google Chrome. It allows a remote attacker to trigger an out-of-bounds memory access by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The resulting memory access could lead to memory corruption.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers running any version prior to 151.0.7922.72. This includes stable channel releases before that version, which may still be in use on older machines or devices that have not received the latest update.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 denotes high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low likelihood of immediate exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a remote web page that the victim accesses; the flaw is triggered by a crafted HTML file. No publicly available exploitation code is documented, so the risk remains theoretical, but the combination of high severity and potential memory corruption warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the fixed Frame implementation.
  • Use Chrome Enterprise policies to restrict loading of untrusted or malicious HTML content, such as disabling insecure components or remote debugging features that could aid the attacker.
  • Enable Chrome’s sandboxing, Safe Browsing, and ensure that browsers are run with the most restrictive user permissions to limit the potential impact of any residual code execution.
