CVE-2026-79059 is an information leak vulnerability in the BFCache implementation of Google Chrome before version 152.0.7977.65. It enables a remote attacker with control over the renderer process to access cross-origin data through a specially crafted HTML page. The issue is classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information). The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, and low confidentiality impact.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data, potentially exposing sensitive information from other origins. The impact is limited to confidentiality with no integrity or availability effects. The overall severity is low, reflecting the limited scope and complexity of exploitation.
