Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

An uninitialized resource in the ANGLE graphics engine of Google Chrome on Windows can be triggered by a remote attacker via a specially crafted HTML page. The flaw allows the attacker to read data that is normally isolated per origin, effectively leaking cross‑origin content. The weakness is an uninitialized resource (CWE-908) and does not provide arbitrary code execution, but it compromises the confidentiality of web resources accessed by the browser.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome for Windows versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 are affected. No other browsers or operating systems were listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a Chromium severity of Medium and a CVSS score of 6.5, and the EPSS score is < 1%. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote via a malicious HTML page served over the network to a user’s machine. Exploitation requires the user to load the crafted page in Chrome, after which the attacker can read cross‑origin data. The risk is moderate, with a potential impact on data confidentiality but no direct code execution or denial of service. Timely patching reduces the window of opportunity for such data theft.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to at least version 152.0.7977.65 or later on Windows
  • Disable or restrict loading of arbitrary HTML files from untrusted sources using enterprise browser policies
  • Enforce strict Content Security Policy headers to limit cross‑origin resource access
