Insufficient policy enforcement in Content Settings in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to bypass discretionary access control via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Content Settings policy enforcement bypass in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 enables remote attackers to circumvent discretionary access control by delivering a crafted HTML page to a victim who must interact with it. Rooted in CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), the flaw affects Chrome's Content Settings subsystem - which governs site-level permissions such as cookies, notifications, and script access - yielding a limited integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability consequences. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV; the vendor itself rates this as Low severity, consistent with the CVSS 4.3 base score.
Technical ContextAI
Google Chrome's Content Settings subsystem enforces per-origin access control policies governing browser-level permissions including JavaScript execution, cookies, camera, microphone, and notifications. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) identifies the root cause as a failure to correctly enforce these policies at the content-settings layer when parsing or rendering a specially constructed HTML document. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) confirms this is network-reachable with low attack complexity and no required privileges, but requires user interaction - indicating the exploit payload is delivered via a web page the victim must visit. Scope:Unchanged means the flaw does not escape Chrome's process boundary into the underlying OS or other applications. The Chromium issue tracker entry (issues.chromium.org/issues/498373018) is the upstream technical reference for the fix.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which is confirmed available per the vendor's stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise environments managing Chrome via group policy or device management platforms (Google Admin Console, Intune) should deploy this update through their standard software distribution pipeline. As a temporary compensating control for environments unable to patch immediately, administrators can enforce maximally restrictive Content Settings via Chrome enterprise policy templates to reduce the permission surface exploitable through this flaw; note this may disrupt legitimate site functionality relying on browser-managed permissions. No additional vendor-documented workarounds are available beyond applying the update.
