AI Analysis

Impact

An insufficient policy enforcement in the Speech interface of Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker to bypass the browser’s site isolation protection by serving a specially crafted HTML page. This flaw can enable cross‑site information leakage or privilege escalation within the browser context, as the attacker can execute code in a victim’s isolated site environment. The vulnerability is classified as low severity by Chromium but presents a clear security risk to users who load malicious web content.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers with versions up to and including 151.0.7922.72 on any operating system.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, while an EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at present. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a standard web visit to a malicious site that hosts a crafted HTML page exploiting the Speech API policy weakness. No additional privileges or local system access are required beyond normal browsing privileges.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the security fix for the Speech API policy enforcement.
  • If an immediate upgrade cannot be performed, disable or restrict the Speech API for all sites through Chrome flags, policy settings, or a content security policy that blocks speech recognition features.
  • Confirm that Chrome’s site isolation feature is enabled in the browser’s security settings to maintain separation of isolated sites after applying changes.
