CVE-2026-11692: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Read Anything 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 Read Anything component of Google Chrome before version 149.0.7827.103. An attacker with control over the renderer process could exploit this flaw to perform a sandbox escape via a specially crafted HTML page. The sandbox escape could lead to increased privileges or further compromise of the host system. The vulnerability is acknowledged by Google and classified as high severity, but no CVSS score or explicit remediation status is provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox environment, potentially leading to greater control over the affected system. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a more severe system compromise. No known exploits have been reported in the wild, which may reduce immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory link provided should be consulted for the latest remediation status. Since the affected version is prior to 149.0.7827.103, updating Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or later is recommended if the advisory confirms this as the fixed version. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the input data, so checking the vendor advisory is essential for current remediation guidance.
