Origin-policy bypass via Worker authorization
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Authorization bypass in Workers in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.173 lets attackers bypass web origin policy via crafted HTML. Public records identify the locus as the Workers implementation, but Google has not disclosed which worker-side origin or authorization check incorrectly trusts untrusted renderer-controlled state. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and user interaction with a crafted page, so the flaw is a post-compromise same-origin-policy bypass rather than a standalone code-execution bug.
