CVE-2026-13962: Insufficient data validation in Google Chrome
Insufficient data validation in PDF in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Google Chrome's PDF handling arises from insufficient data validation, enabling an attacker with control over the renderer process to bypass navigation restrictions via a specially crafted HTML page. The issue affects versions before 150.0.7871.47. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact. The vendor advisory linked does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation level.
Potential Impact
An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this vulnerability to bypass navigation restrictions, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or integrity violations within the browser context. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported. No known active exploitation has been observed.
