CVE-2026-102317: Improper privilege management in Google Chrome
Improper privilege management in Mojo in Google Chrome on on Windows prior to 154.0.8037.92 allowed a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a local program. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Google Chrome's Mojo component on Windows arises from improper privilege management. It allows a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser's sandbox environment by leveraging a local program. The issue affects Chrome versions before 154.0.8037.92. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack requires local access with low complexity, no privileges, and user interaction, but results in a complete breach of confidentiality, integrity, and availability with scope change.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox, compromising the system's security by allowing an attacker to gain elevated privileges and control over the affected machine. This could result in full system compromise on Windows platforms running vulnerable Chrome versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 154.0.8037.92. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.
