Impact

An observable discrepancy in the treatment of SVG elements within Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36 allows a remote attacker to extract sensitive information through a crafted HTML page that embeds SVG content. The flaw is related to CWE-203, improper authorization, meaning the browser fails to enforce proper controls when processing SVG data, leading to an information disclosure.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include Google Chrome. Any installations using a Chrome build released before 153.0.8010.36 are susceptible to this vulnerability. No other versions or products from the vendor are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The risk profile is characterized by a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation. KEV does not list this issue. The likely attack vector is a malicious web page that the user loads, enabling the attacker to retrieve data hidden within the SVG structure. While the exploitation probability remains uncertain without substantial evidence, the potential for privacy compromise exists, especially if the user visits untrusted sites or opens crafted links.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later.
  • Ensure Chrome is set to receive automatic updates so future security fixes are applied promptly.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable SVG rendering by configuring Chrome flags or group policy to reduce the attack surface.
