Inappropriate implementation in Safe Browsing in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on macOS prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to run arbitrary code by tricking a user into interacting with a malicious file, due to an inappropriate implementation in the Safe Browsing component. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.04%, 12th percentile), though the CVSS base score of 8.1 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact. Chromium internally rated the security severity as Low, suggesting practical exploitability is constrained despite the high CVSS.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw resides in Chrome's Safe Browsing subsystem, which is responsible for warning users about malicious downloads, phishing sites, and unsafe URLs by checking content against Google's threat intelligence lists. The CWE-94 classification (Improper Control of Generation of Code, i.e., Code Injection) indicates that the Safe Browsing component fails to properly constrain how downloaded or referenced file content is handled, allowing attacker-controlled data to influence code execution paths. The affected CPE corresponds to Google Chrome on the macOS platform specifically (per the description), with version 149.0.7827.53 being the fixed release; earlier Chromium-based behavior on macOS apparently differs in download/file-handling enforcement compared to Windows or Linux builds.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 for macOS - upgrade immediately via Chrome's built-in updater or by downloading the stable channel installer, per the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise fleets managed via MDM should push the updated package and verify auto-update is enabled. As an interim compensating control for unpatched macOS endpoints, restrict downloads of executable and archive file types via web gateway or endpoint policy and instruct users not to open files from untrusted sources; note that disabling Safe Browsing entirely is counterproductive since it removes other protective checks, and blocking file downloads at the gateway will affect legitimate workflows.
