CVE-2026-13846: Use after free in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-13846 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the USB component of Google Chrome on Mac systems prior to version 150.0.7871.47. This flaw allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the browser's sandbox by using a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is classified with high severity by Chromium security. A fixed version, 150.0.7871.47, is indicated, but explicit patch status is not confirmed in the advisory.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the USB handling code of Google Chrome on Mac platforms. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and could lead to sandbox escape, increasing the attacker's privileges beyond the renderer sandbox. The issue affects versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. While a fixed version is referenced, the vendor advisory does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to greater control over the host system. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a more severe system-level compromise on affected Mac systems running vulnerable Chrome versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory URL references a stable channel update for Chrome desktop, implying that remediation is available in version 150.0.7871.47. Users should update to this version or later to address the vulnerability. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory content provided; therefore, users should verify the update details via the official Google Chrome release blog. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
