CVE-2026-11045: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-11045 is a medium severity vulnerability in Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.53 involving insufficient validation of untrusted input in the GPU component. This flaw allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to potentially access sensitive information from process memory by using a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability but impacts confidentiality. No known exploits are reported in the wild. A vendor advisory link is provided but does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation status.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input within the GPU component of Google Chrome versions before 149.0.7827.53. An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this flaw via a specially crafted HTML page to read potentially sensitive information from process memory. The issue is tracked as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5, indicating a medium severity. The vulnerability affects confidentiality but does not impact integrity or availability. The vendor advisory is available but does not explicitly state if an official fix has been released.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information from Chrome's process memory. There is no impact on system integrity or availability. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have already compromised the renderer process, which limits the attack scope.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is confirmed, users should apply any available Chrome updates promptly and avoid untrusted content that could exploit the renderer process.
