9.6 CRITICAL

Network-delivered crafted page (AV:N/UI:R) escaping the renderer sandbox is a genuine trust-boundary crossing (S:C) with full C/I/A; PR kept N to match vendor convention despite the renderer-compromise prerequisite.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome for iOS before 151.0.7922.72 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, escalating a contained renderer foothold into broader control (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed). Reported internally by the Chrome team under CWE-20 insufficient input validation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.29% (21st percentile), consistent with a chained bug that is not yet weaponized. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Send malformed input across sandbox boundary
Execution
Trigger CWE-20 validation flaw
Persist
Escape renderer sandbox (scope change)
Impact
Execute in privileged browser context

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - the sandbox escape is a second stage, not a standalone entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed and should be weighed together rather than reading the 9.6 in isolation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A victim on an unpatched Chrome for iOS visits a page hosting a malicious script that first exploits a separate renderer bug to gain code execution inside the sandbox, then serves crafted HTML/input that triggers CVE-2026-17684 to escape the sandbox into the more privileged browser context. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the attack depends on chaining with a working renderer exploit, so this remains a plausible but currently theoretical scenario.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome for iOS to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store; this is the primary and complete fix, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, alert device owners and IT teams of the critical Chrome 151.0.7922.72 update availability and enforce installation through MDM if available. …
