CVE-2026-5879: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer within Google Chrome on Mac systems before version 147.0.7727.55. Exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox environment by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The flaw affects Chrome's handling of graphics-related input, potentially compromising browser security.
