CVE-2025-10201 is a security vulnerability identified in the Mojo component of Google Chrome versions prior to 140.0.7339.127 on Android, Linux, and ChromeOS platforms. Mojo is an IPC (Inter-Process Communication) system used within Chromium to facilitate communication between different processes and components securely. The vulnerability arises from an inappropriate implementation in Mojo that allows a remote attacker to bypass Chrome's site isolation feature by crafting a malicious HTML page. Site isolation is a critical security mechanism designed to separate different websites into distinct processes, thereby preventing malicious sites from accessing or interfering with data from other sites. By bypassing site isolation, an attacker could potentially access sensitive information from other sites or processes, undermining the browser's security model. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability is classified with high severity by Chromium's security team, indicating a significant risk if exploited. The flaw affects multiple major platforms where Chrome is widely used, including Android, Linux, and ChromeOS, which broadens the attack surface. The absence of a CVSS score suggests that the vulnerability is newly disclosed and pending further evaluation. The attack vector involves a remote attacker delivering a crafted HTML page, which implies that exploitation does not require prior authentication but does require user interaction (visiting or rendering the malicious page). This vulnerability highlights the importance of timely patching and updating Chrome to the fixed version 140.0.7339.127 or later to mitigate the risk of site isolation bypass and potential data leakage or cross-site attacks.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality and integrity of web-based data accessed through Chrome on affected platforms. Organizations relying on Chrome for sensitive operations, including financial services, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure, could face data leakage or unauthorized access to sensitive information if attackers exploit this flaw. The bypass of site isolation could enable cross-site data theft, session hijacking, or execution of malicious scripts in the context of other sites, potentially leading to credential theft or exposure of confidential data. Given the widespread use of Chrome in Europe, including on corporate Android devices and Linux workstations, the vulnerability could impact a broad range of users and systems. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the high severity rating and ease of exploitation via crafted web content mean that threat actors may develop exploits rapidly. Additionally, ChromeOS devices used in educational and governmental sectors across Europe could be targeted, increasing the scope of impact. The vulnerability could also affect remote work scenarios where employees access corporate resources via Chrome on personal or managed devices, increasing the risk of lateral movement or data exfiltration within organizational networks.

European organizations should prioritize updating Google Chrome to version 140.0.7339.127 or later on all affected platforms (Android, Linux, ChromeOS) as soon as possible to remediate this vulnerability. Beyond patching, organizations should implement network-level protections such as web filtering and URL reputation services to block access to suspicious or untrusted websites that could host crafted malicious HTML content. Employing endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions with behavioral analytics can help detect anomalous browser activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Organizations should also enforce strict browser security policies, including disabling unnecessary plugins or extensions that could increase attack surface. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of visiting untrusted websites and the importance of promptly applying browser updates. For managed Android devices, leveraging mobile device management (MDM) solutions to enforce automatic updates and restrict installation of unapproved apps can reduce exposure. Monitoring threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploit reports related to this vulnerability will help organizations respond proactively. Finally, organizations should consider segmenting critical systems and sensitive data access to minimize impact in case of browser compromise.
