CVE-2026-17847: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input within the ANGLE component of Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72. Exploitation could enable a remote attacker to escape the browser's sandbox environment via a specially crafted HTML page, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected system. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.6, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope change, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor advisory URL is provided but does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation details.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to escape the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges outside the browser sandbox. This could compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory linked should be consulted for the latest remediation guidance. Since the affected version is prior to 151.0.7922.72, updating to version 151.0.7922.72 or later is strongly recommended if confirmed by the vendor advisory. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the vendor advisory for current remediation instructions.
