A missing authorization vulnerability in the WebUI of Google Chrome versions prior to 153.0.8010.36 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass the web origin policy using a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability is classified with high severity by Chromium security. There is no CVSS score or patch information provided in the available data. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-87498 involves missing authorization checks in the WebUI component of Google Chrome before version 153.0.8010.36. An attacker who has compromised the renderer process can exploit this flaw to bypass the web origin policy by delivering a crafted HTML page. This bypass could potentially allow unauthorized access to web resources that should be restricted by origin policy enforcement. The issue is categorized under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). No patch or official remediation details are provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with control over the renderer process to bypass the web origin policy, potentially leading to unauthorized access to web content or actions that should be restricted by origin policy. This could undermine browser security boundaries and user data protection. However, the attacker must have already compromised the renderer process, which limits the initial attack vector. 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. Until a fix is available, limiting exposure to untrusted content and maintaining up-to-date browser versions is recommended.
