MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the attacker has ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - this is a chained, second-stage sandbox/access-restriction bypass, not a standalone remote compromise, so a separate renderer-level exploit is a hard prerequisite. The victim must then load attacker-controlled content: the flaw is triggered via a crafted HTML page, and the CVSS vector's UI:R indicates user interaction (navigating to or rendering the page) is required. The primary limiting factor is the compromised-renderer precondition, which substantially raises real-world attack complexity; the fix is to update Chrome to 155.0.8059.39 or later. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, second-stage vulnerability, not a standalone priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1 (vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting a scope change (sandbox/privilege boundary crossing) but only Low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The description is the most important signal and partially conflicts with the vector: exploitation requires an attacker who 'had compromised the renderer process' - i.e. this is a sandbox/access-restriction bypass that must be chained to a prior renderer-level RCE, yet the vector scores PR:N. The PR:N reflects Chromium's convention of scoring the external attacker rather than the renderer-compromise precondition, so the real-world attack complexity is higher than AC:L implies. Supporting signals indicate low urgency: EPSS is 0.19% (8th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code is referenced. A patch is available from the vendor. In short, a genuinely useful bug for an attacker already inside the renderer sandbox, but not independently exploitable and not currently associated with active exploitation - patch on normal browser-update cadence rather than emergency timelines. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already compromised a Chrome renderer process (via a separate, chained exploit) lures or has the victim load a crafted HTML page, which triggers the incorrect-authorization flaw in Chrome's Core component to escape renderer restrictions and reach otherwise-protected system resources. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and there is no evidence of active exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
An incorrect authorization flaw in the Core component of Google Chrome allows a crafted HTML page to bypass system access restrictions - but only after the attacker has already compromised the Chrome renderer process. This makes it a chained, second-stage sandbox escape rather than a standalone remote compromise: a separate renderer-level exploit is a hard prerequisite, and the victim must still load attacker-controlled content, which is why the assessed vector raises attack complexity to High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, 6.1 base). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.19% (8th percentile), but a vendor patch is available in Chrome 155.0.8059.39, so affected users should update without delay.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to 155.0.8059.39 or later - vendor-released patch: 155.0.8059.39, documented in the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html - and fully restart the browser so the new binary replaces the running renderer and browser processes. Enterprise administrators should force the update through their management console or auto-update policy and confirm the reported version shows 155.0.8059.39+ on all endpoints, including managed and BYOD installations, since the flaw is only reachable after an existing renderer compromise. No offline workaround restores the boundary once a renderer is compromised, so compensating controls are limited and carry trade-offs: enforcing strict site isolation and disabling unnecessary or untrusted web content sources, plus aggressive phishing/malicious-page blocking to deny the crafted HTML delivery step, reduces exposure to the chained scenario but does not fix the authorization defect; disabling JavaScript or sandbox-adjacent web features broadly would break normal browsing and is not recommended. Monitor the Chromium issue (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/551529559) for any updated technical detail and treat any future renderer RCE paired with this bug as a combined sandbox-escape risk requiring immediate patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Chrome runs web content inside a heavily sandboxed renderer process that is deliberately denied direct access to the filesystem, OS resources, and privileged browser services; the browser process mediates all such access through brokered IPC (historically Mojo interfaces), and site isolation keeps different origins in separate renderer processes. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) describes the root-cause class here: a privilege check in the Core component failed to correctly authorize a request originating from the renderer, letting a URL/HTML-triggered code path reach functionality that should have been gated behind a stricter origin, permission, or browser-process validation. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the impact crosses a security boundary - the renderer sandbox - while confidentiality and integrity impact remain Low. Because the renderer must be compromised first, this bug functions as a post-exploitation escalation primitive that a separate renderer RCE would chain with to gain broader system access; the affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all Chrome builds below 155.0.8059.39 (tracked as EUVD-2026-93799).

AC:H because exploitation depends on a prior renderer compromise; UI:R for the crafted-page visit and S:C for the renderer-to-system boundary crossing, with only Low C/I impact and no availability impact.
