CVE-2026-5291: Inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-5291 is a medium severity vulnerability in Google Chrome's WebGL implementation prior to version 146. 0. 7680. 178. It allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability does not allow modification or disruption of data, only information disclosure. There are no known exploits in the wild. No explicit patch link is provided, so patch status is not confirmed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an inappropriate implementation in the WebGL component of Google Chrome before version 146.0.7680.178. It enables a remote attacker to extract sensitive information from process memory via a specially crafted HTML page. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction needed. The impact is confidentiality loss without integrity or availability impact. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information).
Potential Impact
An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can obtain sensitive information from the browser's process memory. This could lead to disclosure of data that should remain confidential. There is no impact on data integrity or availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed as no official patch or vendor advisory link is provided. Users should update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.178 or later once the update is available. Until then, exercise caution when visiting untrusted websites, especially those that might use WebGL content. Monitor official Google Chrome security advisories for updates and patches.
