CVE-2026-7905: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Media in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.96 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 arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input within the Media component of Google Chrome on Android versions before 148.0.7778.96. An attacker who has compromised the renderer process could leverage this flaw to perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. The sandbox escape could allow the attacker to break out of the restricted execution environment, potentially leading to further system compromise. The issue is publicly disclosed with high severity but lacks detailed CVSS scoring or explicit remediation status in the provided data. The vendor advisory linked is a general Chrome stable channel update announcement without specific patch details for this vulnerability.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could enable a remote attacker with control over the renderer process to escape the sandbox environment, potentially increasing the level of system access beyond the browser sandbox restrictions. This could lead to greater control over the affected device. However, there are no known exploits in the wild at this time, and the impact is limited to affected versions of Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.96.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. The provided vendor advisory link does not explicitly confirm a fix for this vulnerability. Users should monitor official Google Chrome release notes and update to the latest version once a fix is announced. Until then, no specific mitigation steps are provided by the vendor.
