CVE-2026-11663: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Skia graphics library within Google Chrome before version 149.0.7827.103. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process, after which an attacker could leverage this flaw to escape the browser sandbox environment via a crafted HTML page. The sandbox escape could lead to elevated privileges or further system compromise. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed and assigned CVE-2026-11663. No explicit patch or remediation level is confirmed in the provided data, but the affected version is identified, implying that updating to version 149.0.7827.103 or later may address the issue.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to greater control over the host system. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a full system compromise. However, exploitation requires initial renderer process compromise, which limits the attack vector to scenarios where that condition is met.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html for current remediation guidance. Users should update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or later once available. Until then, no specific mitigations are detailed in the advisory. Monitoring for updates from Google is recommended.
