CVE-2025-12443 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability found in the WebXR component of Google Chrome. Discovered by Aisle Research in October 2025, the flaw affects Chrome versions prior to 142.0.7444.59 across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. It stems from an issue in matrix handling within the WebXR implementation. The vulnerability allows malicious web content to potentially leak sensitive heap memory. An attacker could access memory locations beyond the intended boundaries, potentially leading to information disclosure, application crashes, or the ability to bypass ASLR (address space layout randomization). The vulnerability has been addressed in Chrome version 142.0.7444.59 and later.
