Requires a pre-compromised renderer (PR:H) and a chained multi-condition path (AC:H); sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) enabling high C/I/A impact, with UI:R for the crafted page.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Insufficient policy enforcement in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome DevTools before 150.0.7871.47 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page, stemming from insufficient policy enforcement (CWE-693). NVD scores this 9.6 with a scope-change vector, though Google rates the Chromium severity only Medium and it is a second-stage bug requiring prior renderer compromise. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.21%), consistent with a chained rather than standalone threat.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw lives in Chrome's DevTools, the built-in debugging/inspection subsystem that communicates with the renderer over the Chrome DevTools Protocol and is granted elevated capabilities relative to ordinary web content. CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure / insufficient policy enforcement) indicates that a security policy meant to constrain what the renderer can request or influence through DevTools was not fully enforced, allowing renderer-controlled input to reach privileged functionality. Because Chrome's multi-process model relies on the renderer being confined by the sandbox, any DevTools path that lets renderer-supplied data escape that boundary undermines the primary isolation guarantee. The affected component is the Chrome desktop browser (per EUVD, cpe scope is Chrome builds prior to 150.0.7871.47 across desktop platforms).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Stable channel, per Google's advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html; confirm the update by restarting the browser so the new build is applied. In managed fleets, push the update through your enterprise update policy rather than relying on user-initiated restarts. Because exploitation requires a compromised renderer, defense-in-depth against the first stage helps: keep site isolation enabled (default) and avoid disabling the sandbox. As a targeted hardening measure, deploy the DeveloperToolsAvailability enterprise policy to disable or restrict DevTools where end users do not need it, which reduces exposure of the vulnerable component at the cost of blocking legitimate in-browser debugging for developers.
