Script injection in Accessibility in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML (UXSS) via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Script injection via Chrome's Accessibility component allows a remote attacker who convinces a victim to install a malicious extension to perform Universal Cross-Site Scripting (UXSS), injecting arbitrary scripts or HTML into web page contexts the user visits. Affected are all Chrome desktop versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. EPSS is 0.01% (2nd percentile) and this vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, indicating very low real-world exploitation probability at time of analysis; however, the social-engineering prerequisite (malicious extension installation) remains a credible threat vector in targeted campaigns.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified under CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), indicating insufficient neutralization of user-controllable input before it is used to generate executable code or markup. The affected subsystem is Chrome's Accessibility layer, which provides assistive technology interfaces and deep DOM integration. A crafted Chrome Extension - which by design has elevated browser privileges - can exploit insufficient input sanitization in this Accessibility component to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML into the context of web pages, a technique known as UXSS. UXSS is particularly dangerous because it bypasses the Same-Origin Policy, allowing injected code to execute across multiple origins within the same browser session. Affected product per EUVD CPE data is Google Chrome on desktop prior to version 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is upgrading Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, delivered via Google's stable channel update announced at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise deployments should expedite rollout through Google Update or Chrome Browser Cloud Management. As a compensating control that directly addresses the attack prerequisite, organizations should enforce extension allowlisting policies using Chrome Enterprise group policy (ExtensionInstallAllowlist / ExtensionInstallBlocklist) to restrict installation to approved extensions only - this eliminates the malicious extension installation vector entirely without impacting browser functionality. Blocking extension installation from outside the Chrome Web Store (ExtensionInstallSources) is an additional layered control. Note that overly restrictive extension policies may impact productivity workflows; coordinate with end users and application owners before deploying.
