CVE-2026-14427: Heap buffer overflow in Google Chrome
Heap buffer overflow in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14427 is a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the Skia graphics library used by Google Chrome versions before 150.0.7871.46. An attacker with control over the renderer process could exploit this flaw via a specially crafted HTML page to potentially perform a sandbox escape, thereby increasing their privileges on the affected system. The vulnerability is rated critical by Chromium security. The vendor has published an advisory but has not explicitly stated the remediation level or patch availability in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to elevated privileges and further compromise of the host system. This increases the risk of persistent and more damaging attacks beyond the renderer process sandbox.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory linked indicates a stable channel update for desktop Chrome, implying that a fix is available in version 150.0.7871.46. Users should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data, so users should verify the update details in the vendor advisory to ensure remediation.
