CVE-2026-17939: Inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-17939 is a vulnerability in Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 involving insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Passwords component. This flaw allows a remote attacker to perform UI spoofing via malicious network traffic. The issue is classified with low severity by the Chromium security team. No CVSS score is provided. The vulnerability affects exactly version 151.0.7922.72, implying that earlier versions are vulnerable and this version is the fixed one. There is no explicit vendor advisory stating patch status, but the presence of this version in affectedVersions suggests the fix is in 151.0.7922.72. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor advisory link points to a Chrome stable channel update announcement, which likely includes the fix.
