CVE-2026-95374 is an improper access-control issue in Chromium's CORS preflight-cache keying. For requests whose origin became tainted after a cross-origin redirect, Chromium sent and evaluated the preflight using Origin: null, but keyed the resulting cache entry using the original request initiator's named origin. An attacker could therefore cause a target to approve a preflight for Origin: null and have that approval reused by a subsequent direct request from the original named origin, bypassing the required preflight. The fix uses an opaque origin as the cache key for tainted-origin requests, separating tainted and untainted preflight-cache entries.

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.
What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.
Origin: null but does not approve the attacker's named origin. This creates a blind CSRF-class condition that can cause server-side actions under the victim's authenticated session. Cross-origin response disclosure is not provided because actual-response ACAO validation continues to use the tainted-adjusted origin.If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.
Origin: null unless it is explicitly required and safe. Enforce robust server-side CSRF protections for state-changing operations, including request-specific anti-CSRF tokens and/or strict Origin validation, rather than relying on browser preflight enforcement as an authorization boundary.Patch, then assume compromise.
