CVE-2026-7351 is a race condition vulnerability in the MHTML component of Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.138. It allows an attacker who convinces a user to install a malicious Chrome extension to leak cross-origin data. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 3.1 and is classified as low severity. There is no explicit vendor advisory stating a patch or fix status in the provided data, but the affected version is prior to 147.0.7727.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a race condition in the MHTML processing of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into installing a malicious Chrome extension, which then can leak cross-origin data. The CVSS score of 3.1 reflects a low severity impact with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, only confidentiality to a limited extent.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to potential leakage of cross-origin data if a user installs a malicious extension. There is no indication of integrity or availability compromise. The CVSS score and vector indicate a low severity vulnerability with limited impact and requiring user interaction and high attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory link provided does not explicitly confirm patch status. However, since the vulnerability affects versions prior to 147.0.7727.138, updating Google Chrome to version 147.0.7727.138 or later is recommended. Patch status is not yet confirmed explicitly; users should consult the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_28.html for current remediation guidance.
