A race condition (CWE-367) in the PlatformIntegration component of Google Chrome on macOS, versions prior to 153.0.8010.47, allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. The flaw is triggered when a victim interacts with a crafted HTML page, but exploitation requires the attacker to have already compromised the browser's renderer process and to leverage social engineering, consistent with the High attack-complexity and user-interaction requirements in the CVSS vector. A successful attack compromises confidentiality but does not affect integrity or availability. Only Chrome builds on Mac earlier than 153.0.8010.47 are listed as affected. No public proof-of-concept is known and the issue is not on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, so no in-the-wild exploitation has been reported.

What to do: Update Chrome on macOS to version 153.0.8010.47 or later via Help > About Chrome (chrome://settings/help), which forces the update check. Enterprise administrators should verify that managed Mac fleets have pulled the patched version, since policy-controlled rollout can lag consumer auto-updates. Because exploitation requires a prior renderer compromise plus user interaction, confirming Site Isolation is enabled provides additional defense-in-depth.

mass≈hundreds of millions of Chrome-on-macOS users (order of magnitude; exact unpatched count unknown) — Chrome is estimated to run on roughly 3 billion devices worldwide and macOS accounts for roughly 15% of desktop OS share, implying a Chrome-on-Mac install base in the hundreds of millions, though Chrome's auto-update mechanism shrinks the…
