Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-17655 involves insufficient validation of untrusted input within the ANGLE component of Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72. This weakness could allow a remote attacker to escape the browser's sandbox environment by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The sandbox escape could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code outside the browser's restricted environment. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). There is no CVSS score available, and no direct patch or remediation details are provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to bypass Chrome's sandbox protections, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the host system. This elevates the risk profile significantly as sandbox escapes undermine the browser's security containment mechanisms.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Users and administrators should monitor official Google Chrome security advisories for updates and apply the update to version 151.0.7922.72 or later once available to remediate this issue.
