AI Analysis

Impact

Storage's reference resolution in Chrome on Windows could be subverted by a crafted HTML page, letting an attacker who had already compromised the renderer process run code outside the sandbox. The flaw enables arbitrary code execution, posing a severe breach of system integrity.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on Windows versions before 153.0.8010.36 are vulnerable. Any installation using the old storage component is susceptible until the update lists the side. The issue afflicts the renderer process on desktop environments.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is scored low by Chromium, but it permits remote code execution via the renderer. The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is <1%, suggesting a low probability of exploitation, and the flaw is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. If an attacker can supply a malicious page that reaches the compromised renderer, the attack vector is remote via a crafted HTML payload.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later to resolve incorrect reference handling.
  • If an update is delayed, configure Chrome policies to block or restrict access to untrusted sites that could deliver malicious HTML payloads.
  • Continuously monitor for unexpected renderer crashes or privilege‑escalation events and apply future patches promptly.
