CVE-2026-14051 is a vulnerability in Google Chrome's GamepadAPI prior to version 150.0.7871.47. It involves uninitialized use that allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to potentially access sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 6.5. No known exploits are reported in the wild. A vendor advisory is available but does not explicitly confirm patch status or remediation details.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability is an uninitialized use issue in the GamepadAPI component of Google Chrome versions before 150.0.7871.47. It enables a remote attacker, with control over the renderer process, to read potentially sensitive memory contents by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The CVSS vector indicates the attack requires no privileges but user interaction, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. The vulnerability is classified as medium severity by Chromium security.
Potential Impact
An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from process memory. This could lead to information disclosure but does not affect integrity or availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory linked does not explicitly state patch availability or remediation level. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 150.0.7871.47, so updating to version 150.0.7871.47 or later is recommended as a precaution. Patch status is not yet confirmed—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
