Technical details

An incorrect authorization check in the Blink component of Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 permits remote attackers to bypass same-origin policy (SOP) via a crafted HTML page delivered over the network. The vulnerability requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) but does not require authentication. Successful exploitation allows JavaScript code to access resources and data from different origins than the page's declared origin.
