Inappropriate implementation in CredentialProvider in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a local attacker to perform OS-level privilege escalation via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
OS-level privilege escalation in Google Chrome for Windows before 150.0.7871.47 lets a local attacker leverage an inappropriate implementation in the CredentialProvider component to elevate privileges via a malicious file. Exploitation requires local access plus user interaction (UI:R), and though Google rated the Chromium security severity 'Low', the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (High) due to full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local access to the Windows host and user interaction (CVSS UI:R) - specifically the processing of an attacker-supplied malicious file by Chrome's CredentialProvider component, meaning the Google Credential Provider for Windows / CredentialProvider integration must be present and in use on the target. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed and should be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who already has a local, unprivileged presence on a Windows host (or who convinces a logged-in user to open a specially crafted file) places a malicious file that Chrome's CredentialProvider processes improperly, causing the privileged component to perform an operation that elevates the attacker to OS-level privileges. This turns a limited user foothold into full SYSTEM/administrative control. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on Windows to 150.0.7871.47 or later, as delivered via the Chrome Stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); restart the browser to ensure the update is applied since Chrome staged updates only take effect after relaunch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
