Kept AV:N/UI:R/S:C but raised to AC:H because a successful attack depends on first achieving a separate renderer compromise, a substantial precondition beyond a single request.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Passwords in Google Chrome 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, chaining into the higher-privileged browser process. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Passwords component (CWE-20) and is rated Medium by Chromium despite an NVD CVSS of 9.6. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Lure victim to crafted HTML page
Delivery
Compromise renderer via separate bug
Exploit
Send malformed input over IPC to Passwords
Execution
Trigger input-validation flaw in browser process
Impact
Escape sandbox to higher privilege

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - this is a sandbox-escape primitive, not an initial-access bug, so a separate first-stage renderer exploit is a hard prerequisite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first lands a separate renderer-compromise exploit when the victim visits a malicious or compromised web page, then uses this flaw to send crafted input from the controlled renderer to the browser process's Passwords handling and escape the sandbox into the higher-privileged process. Because UI:R applies, the victim must open the attacker's crafted HTML page. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel and restart the browser to apply it (Chrome auto-updates but requires a relaunch to complete); see the Chrome Releases advisory at 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 all system administrators and security teams of the critical vulnerability and coordinate testing of Chrome version 151.0.7922.72 in staging environments. …
