CVE-2026-13901: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
Insufficient policy enforcement in Serial in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Serial API within Google Chrome versions before 150.0.7871.47. An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this weakness to perform a sandbox escape, which could lead to executing code outside the browser's restricted environment. The issue is categorized under CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) and CWE-602 (Insufficient Control of Resource Identifiers). The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can allow an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially gaining higher privileges on the host system. This can lead to full system compromise, including unauthorized access to sensitive data and disruption of system availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. The provided vendor advisory link should be monitored for updates on official fixes. Until a patch is confirmed, users should exercise caution with untrusted content and consider restricting access to the Serial API if possible.
