CVE-2026-13990 is a medium severity vulnerability in Google Chrome on Windows prior to version 150.0.7871.47. It involves insufficient validation of untrusted input in the DataTransfer component, which could allow a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. No CVSS score is provided. There is no explicit vendor advisory content confirming a patch, but the affected version indicates that 150.0.7871.47 is the fixed version.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Google Chrome on Windows arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the DataTransfer API. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process could exploit this flaw to conduct UI spoofing attacks by crafting malicious HTML pages. The issue affects versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. The Chromium security team rates this vulnerability as medium severity. No detailed CVSS score or explicit remediation level is provided in the advisory, but the presence of an affected version and a vendor advisory link suggests that the issue is addressed in version 150.0.7871.47.
Potential Impact
A remote attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this vulnerability to perform UI spoofing, potentially misleading users by displaying deceptive interface elements. This could facilitate social engineering attacks or trick users into performing unintended actions. The impact is limited to scenarios where the attacker has already compromised the renderer process, reducing the overall severity compared to remote code execution vulnerabilities.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users and administrators should update Google Chrome on Windows to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The vendor advisory linked confirms the availability of this update. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor.
