Published: 2026-09-09
Score: 6.5 Medium
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Information disclosure and site isolation bypass through renderer compromise
Action: Update Chrome
AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the navigation component of Google Chrome and allows an attacker who has already compromised a renderer process to leak information and bypass site isolation. The attacker can craft an HTML page that sources the leaked data from the renderer and use it to exfiltrate information or manipulate isolation boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive content to other sites. The weakness is identified as an information disclosure flaw (CWE‑200).

Affected Systems

Google Chrome is affected. No specific version range is provided in the announcement. It is inferred that the issue was corrected in build 153.0.8010.36 and later releases of the stable channel, as the description references that version as the boundary.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is < 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a Medium severity, and the attack requires that the attacker already has control over a renderer process to exploit the flaw. Based on the description and absence of publicly disclosed exploits, it is inferred that no public exploit is known, so the risk of exploitation appears moderate. However, potential information leaks and isolation compromise would remain significant if the attacker can place a renderer under their control.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 153.0 the normal update channel or by downloading the latest installer from the official website
  • Ensure that Chrome’s sandboxing feature is enabled and has not been disabled by custom policies or extensions, which helps prevent privilege escalation from compromised renderer processes
  • Use enterprise or network controls to limit the domains that can spawn renderer processes, blocking potentially malicious sites from loading content that could exploit the vulnerability
