Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 6 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Google Chrome to 141.0.7390.54.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-11205, organizations and users should immediately update Google Chrome to version 141.0.7390.54 or later, where the vulnerability is patched. Beyond patching, organizations should implement strict web content filtering and employ browser security features such as sandboxing and site isolation to limit the impact of compromised renderer processes. Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of identifying anomalous browser behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. Educate users to avoid clicking on suspicious links or visiting untrusted websites to reduce the risk of triggering the vulnerability. Network-level protections such as web proxies and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) can help block access to known malicious domains. For high-security environments, consider restricting or monitoring WebGPU usage or disabling it if not required. Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing should include checks for outdated browser versions and exploitation attempts related to this vulnerability.

Description

Heap buffer overflow in WebGPU in Google Chrome prior to 141.0.7390.54 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Impact

The impact of CVE-2025-11205 is significant for organizations globally due to the ubiquity of Google Chrome as a primary web browser. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the affected system, including unauthorized data access, code execution, and potential lateral movement within corporate networks. This can result in data breaches, intellectual property theft, disruption of services, and installation of persistent malware or ransomware. Enterprises relying on Chrome for daily operations, especially those with sensitive or regulated data, face heightened risk. Additionally, the vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against high-value individuals or organizations by delivering malicious web content. The requirement for user interaction limits automated exploitation but does not eliminate risk, as phishing and drive-by download attacks remain common vectors. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future exploitation once exploit code becomes available.
