Cross-origin data leak via WebRTC race
Published May 28, 2026 · Updated May 28, 2026
A WebRTC race in Google Chrome on Windows before 148.0.7778.216 allows remote attackers to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. The published record does not identify the racing WebRTC operation or the synchronization failure that exposes data across origins. Exploitation requires a Windows user to load the crafted page; the documented consequence is data disclosure, not code execution or data modification.
