CVE-2026-6311: Uninitialized Use in Google Chrome
Uninitialized Use in Accessibility in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 147.0.7727.101 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves uninitialized use in the Accessibility feature of Google Chrome on Windows platforms before version 147.0.7727.101. An attacker with control over the renderer process could exploit this flaw to perform a sandbox escape, which could lead to elevated privileges or further compromise of the host system. The issue was publicly disclosed and fixed by Google in the stable channel update 147.0.7727.101.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to greater control over the victim system. This elevates the risk of further exploitation beyond the browser sandbox environment. There are no known exploits in the wild at the time of disclosure.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 147.0.7727.101. Users and administrators should update affected Chrome installations to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is a client-side application, patching the browser is the primary mitigation. No additional vendor-recommended mitigations are indicated in the advisory.
