CVE-2026-17677: Inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-17677 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome on Android affecting versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. It involves an inappropriate implementation in the ANGLE component that could allow a remote attacker to potentially escape the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability could enable attackers to break out of the restricted environment Chrome enforces, increasing the risk of further system compromise.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from an inappropriate implementation in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer within Google Chrome on Android versions before 151.0.7922.72. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by delivering a specially crafted HTML page, which may lead to a sandbox escape. The sandbox escape could allow the attacker to execute code outside the browser's restricted environment, potentially leading to broader system impact. The vulnerability is classified with high severity by Chromium security. No CVSS score is provided. The vendor has published an advisory linked to a stable channel update, indicating a fix is available in version 151.0.7922.72.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to escape the Chrome sandbox on Android devices, potentially enabling execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges outside the browser sandbox. This increases the risk of further compromise of the affected device. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 151.0.7922.72. Users and administrators should update affected Chrome installations on Android to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.
