CVE-2025-11207 is a medium-severity Improper Protection of Physical Side Channels (CWE-1300) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and PE-19 (Information Leakage) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation directly finds out-of-bounds read flaws through static analysis, fuzzing, and dynamic bounds checks.
Directly requires protection against electromagnetic emanation leakage, which stops one class of the physical side-channel exposures described in CWE-1300.
Secure engineering principles require bounds checking and memory-safe constructs that stop out-of-bounds reads from being introduced.
Process isolation confines the effects of an out-of-bounds read to the compromised process.
Input validation rejects malformed indices or lengths that would otherwise cause reads outside buffer bounds.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.
Limiting physical access reduces opportunity for side-channel observation but does not address emission-protection mechanisms inside the device.
Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.
Physical perimeters can limit attacker proximity needed for side-channel capture.
Entry controls reduce opportunities for physical observation of emissions.
Securing rooms and facilities can shield equipment from side-channel probing.
Monitoring deters or detects attempts to exploit physical side channels.
Protecting against physical threats can include shielding against emanation attacks.
