Insufficient policy enforcement in Bluetooth in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass same origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-17986 involves insufficient policy enforcement in the Bluetooth component of Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72. An attacker who has compromised the renderer process can exploit this flaw to bypass the same origin policy through a specially crafted HTML page. This bypass could potentially allow unauthorized access to resources across origins within the browser context. The Chromium security team has classified this vulnerability as low severity, indicating limited impact or exploitability.
Potential Impact
A remote attacker with control over the renderer process can bypass the same origin policy via Bluetooth-related functionality. This could lead to unauthorized cross-origin access within the browser, but the impact is considered low severity by the vendor. There is no indication of broader system compromise or remote code execution from this vulnerability alone.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 151.0.7922.72 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Chrome installations to version 151.0.7922.72 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, manual patching is required.
