CVE-2026-17791: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Payments in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Google Chrome's Payments component arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input. An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this flaw to conduct UI spoofing attacks by crafting malicious HTML pages. The issue affects Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity with 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 status.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to perform UI spoofing, potentially misleading users by displaying deceptive user interface elements. There is no direct impact on confidentiality or availability. The integrity of the user interface can be compromised, which may facilitate further social engineering or phishing attacks within the browser context.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory does not explicitly confirm the availability of a patch or remediation level. Since the affected version is prior to 151.0.7922.72, users should update to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html for current remediation guidance.
