Impact
A missing authorization check in the V8 JavaScript engine of Google Chrome versions prior to 154.0.8037.57 allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that bypasses the browser’s origin policy. The flaw, identified as CWE-862, can enable a malicious site to read or manipulate data normally restricted to other origins, potentially exposing confidential data.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects Google Chrome on all supported platforms. Any installation of Chrome with a version number older than 154.0.8037.57 is susceptible to this flaw.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates low severity, and EPSS data is unavailable. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, and Chromium rates its severity as low. However, because the attack vector is a widely deployed browser and exploitation requires only that a user visit a crafted web page, the risk of unintentional exploitation remains significant.
