CVE-2026-5903: Policy bypass in Google Chrome
Policy bypass in IFrameSandbox in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a policy bypass in the IFrameSandbox implementation in Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.55. An attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into specific UI interactions on a maliciously crafted HTML page, which then bypasses navigation restrictions intended to sandbox iframe content. The issue is classified under CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure). The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass iframe navigation restrictions, potentially enabling unauthorized modification of content or behavior within the browser context. While confidentiality and availability are not impacted, the integrity of the browsing session can be compromised. No known exploits are reported in the wild, which may limit immediate risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is confirmed, users should exercise caution when interacting with untrusted web content that may attempt to exploit UI gestures. No official fix or temporary workaround is explicitly stated in the advisory.
