CVE-2026-19161: Uninitialized Use in Google Chrome
Uninitialized Use in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.109 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is an uninitialized use flaw in the Skia graphics library within Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.109. An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this flaw to leak data across origins by crafting a malicious HTML page. The flaw compromises the browser's same-origin policy protections, potentially exposing sensitive information from other web origins.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data, violating data confidentiality boundaries enforced by the browser. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from other web origins loaded in the browser.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released a stable channel update for Chrome that addresses this vulnerability. Users should update to version 151.0.7922.109 or later to mitigate this issue. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
