CVE-2026-13901: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-13901 is a medium severity vulnerability in Google Chrome prior to version 150.0.7871.47. It involves insufficient policy enforcement in the Serial API, which could allow a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability affects desktop versions of Chrome before 150.0.7871.47. No CVSS score is provided for this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation and policy enforcement in the Serial API implementation in Google Chrome versions before 150.0.7871.47. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process could exploit this flaw by delivering a crafted HTML page, potentially enabling a sandbox escape. The sandbox escape could allow the attacker to break out of the restricted execution environment, increasing the impact of the initial compromise. The issue is classified as medium severity by Chromium security. There is no explicit remediation level stated, but the affected version is prior to 150.0.7871.47, implying that updating to 150.0.7871.47 or later addresses the issue. The vendor advisory URL points to a Chrome stable channel update announcement, which likely includes the fix.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially gaining higher privileges or broader access on the affected system. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise by enabling further malicious actions outside the sandbox restrictions. The impact is limited to affected versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 and requires prior compromise of the renderer process.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users and administrators should update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, as this version includes the fix for the vulnerability. Since this is a client-side application vulnerability, patching to the fixed version is the primary mitigation. No additional vendor-recommended mitigations or temporary workarounds are indicated in the advisory.
