AI Analysis

Impact

An edit‑mode information disclosure flaw was found in Google Chrome. A crafted HTML page can be used by a remote attacker to retrieve sensitive data from the browser's editing context. The vulnerability permits the leakage of information but does not provide code execution or privilege escalation. The weakness is classified as Information Exposure (CWE‑200).

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36 are affected. The flaw exists in Chrome's editing capability and applies to all platforms where this feature is available. The specific platforms are not listed in the CVE data, so this coverage is inferred.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the attack vector relies on a crafted web page, a remote attacker could trigger the leak by delivering a malicious URL or embedding malicious content in a website. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a moderate severity. The EPSS score is < 1%, which shows the probability of exploitation is very low. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The risk is moderate due to the possibility of automated exploitation in a web‑based environment, but the overall impact is limited to information disclosure rather than system compromise.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later.
