CVE-2026-17795: Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome
A vulnerability in the GetUserMedia implementation of Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. The issue is classified with medium severity by Chromium security. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch information is provided in the available data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability (CVE-2026-17795) stems from an inappropriate implementation of the GetUserMedia API in Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72. This flaw enables a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to leak data across origins by using a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). There is no CVSS score available, and no explicit patch or remediation details are provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with control over the renderer process can exploit this vulnerability to leak sensitive cross-origin data, potentially violating user privacy and security boundaries enforced by the browser. The impact is limited to scenarios where the attacker has already compromised the renderer process, reducing the overall risk. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users and administrators should monitor official Google Chrome security advisories for updates addressing this vulnerability.
