Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-79228 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the SiteIsolation feature of Google Chrome versions before 152.0.7977.65. It enables a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to bypass site isolation controls and access privileged pages by leveraging a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization).

Potential Impact

The impact is limited to confidentiality loss (partial information disclosure) because the attacker can bypass site isolation to access privileged pages. There is no impact on integrity or availability. The CVSS vector indicates the attack requires network access, high attack complexity, no privileges, and user interaction.
