AI Analysis

Impact

An incorrect authorisation check in Chrome’s SiteIsolation feature allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass isolation boundaries by presenting a specially crafted file. By doing so, the attacker can access memory or resources belonging to other isolated sites, enabling data theft or further code execution within the browser context.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome users running any desktop channel version earlier than 153.0.8010.36 are affected. The issue is limited to the renderer process where SiteIsolation is enforced.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 classifies the vulnerability as high severity, but the EPSS score of <1% and absence from CISA KEV indicate that exploitation is unlikely to be widespread. Exploitation still requires an already compromised renderer process and a social‑engineering step; if achieved, the attacker can bypass SiteIsolation, accessing data or executing code in other browser contexts.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or newer to apply the SiteIsolation fix
  • Verify that Site Isolation is enabled in Chrome’s experimental flags or policy settings
  • Employ standard social‑engineering protection measures, such as user education and file‑type restrictions, to reduce the chance a crafted file is opened
