Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chromoting in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Linux versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the Chromium sandbox via a crafted Chrome Extension targeting the Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop) component. The flaw is rated CVSS 9.6 due to scope change and full CIA impact, though EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.05%, 15th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Google has shipped a patch in the stable channel update for desktop.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chromoting, the Chrome component underpinning Chrome Remote Desktop functionality, on the Linux build of Chrome. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): Chromoting fails to sufficiently validate untrusted input arriving from a renderer process, which in Chromium's multi-process architecture is normally confined by the sandbox. Because Chromoting runs in a more privileged context (browser/utility process) and accepts IPC-style messages, a malicious Chrome Extension executing inside an already-compromised renderer can supply crafted input that crosses the sandbox boundary, defeating the privilege separation Chromium relies on for its primary security model.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 for Linux - upgrade immediately via the stable channel update documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise administrators should accelerate Chrome auto-update rollout and verify version pinning policies do not hold endpoints below 149.0.7827.53. As compensating controls until patching completes, restrict installation of Chrome Extensions via the ExtensionInstallAllowlist/ExtensionInstallBlocklist enterprise policies (trade-off: blocks legitimate extension workflows), and consider disabling Chrome Remote Desktop / Chromoting host functionality through policy where remote-desktop features are not business-critical (trade-off: loss of remote-access capability for end users). Downstream Chromium-based browsers should be tracked for their respective patched builds.
