| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires two sequential conditions to be met: first, the attacker must have already successfully compromised the Chrome renderer process via a separate, independent vulnerability - this is a hard prerequisite stated explicitly in the CVE description and reflected in the AC:H CVSS rating. Second, user interaction is required (UI:R), meaning the victim must visit or interact with an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page within the already-compromised browser session. The vulnerability affects only Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. Exploitation is limited by: the mandatory prior renderer compromise (a significant technical barrier), the requirement for user interaction, the unchanged scope (S:U, no sandbox escape), and a low confidentiality impact ceiling with no integrity or availability impact. Default Chrome configurations are affected once the renderer is compromised, but the renderer compromise prerequisite means this is not remotely exploitable as a standalone entry point. |
| Impact | CVSS 3.1 (Low) accurately reflects the constrained real-world impact of this vulnerability. The AC:H designation is particularly important - it captures the hard prerequisite of a prior renderer compromise, which itself requires exploiting a separate, typically higher-severity Chromium vulnerability. UI:R further limits exploitation to scenarios where a user visits or interacts with a crafted HTML page. The confidentiality impact is Low (C:L) with no integrity or availability impact, meaning the attacker gains only partial read access - likely scoped to Password Manager state rather than full credential exfiltration. EPSS data was not provided in the available intelligence, preventing a probability-based exploitation likelihood estimate. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public POC identified at time of analysis, both consistent with the low severity rating. The overall risk profile is low for most organizations: this is not an exploitable standalone entry point, and its usefulness is limited to attackers who have already achieved a meaningful foothold via a separate, more complex renderer exploit chain. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker would first need to exploit a separate, higher-severity Chromium renderer vulnerability to compromise the renderer process in the victim's browser session - for example, by directing the user to a malicious web page hosting that initial exploit. Once the renderer is compromised, the attacker's controlled renderer code serves a crafted HTML page that triggers the insufficient policy enforcement flaw in the Password Manager, bypassing discretionary access control to read partial credential or policy state. No public exploit code exists for this specific CVE at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026
Insufficient policy enforcement in Google Chrome's Password Manager (versions prior to 149.0.7827.53) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass discretionary access control via a crafted HTML page, resulting in limited confidentiality exposure. This is a chained vulnerability: exploitation is contingent on a prior renderer process compromise, which substantially elevates attack complexity and limits realistic blast radius. No public exploit code exists and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Google has rated this Low severity and released a fix in Chrome 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which contains the vendor-released fix as confirmed by the Chrome Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Chrome typically auto-updates on desktop platforms; administrators managing enterprise fleets should verify deployment via Chrome Browser Cloud Management or Group Policy. Because exploitation requires a prior renderer process compromise, organizations can reduce the overall attack surface by ensuring Chrome's sandbox is not disabled (avoid --no-sandbox flags in managed deployments), keeping all Chromium-based browser components up to date to reduce the likelihood of a renderer exploit chain being viable, and enforcing Chrome enterprise policies to restrict access to Password Manager features on high-sensitivity endpoints if credential exposure is a concern. No additional workarounds are required for most deployments given the low severity and chained exploitation requirement.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the Password Manager component of Google Chromium, the open-source browser engine underpinning Google Chrome. CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) indicates that the Password Manager's policy enforcement logic fails to adequately validate state or inputs when the renderer process - the sandboxed content process responsible for parsing and rendering HTML - has been compromised. Chrome's security model relies on process isolation and a multi-layer permission/policy framework; a compromised renderer should be constrained from accessing sensitive browser state like stored credentials. This flaw breaks that isolation boundary specifically within the Password Manager subsystem. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) confirms the attack is network-delivered, requires high complexity, no attacker privileges, user interaction, and produces only limited confidentiality impact with no scope change, meaning the attacker cannot pivot further beyond the user's browser session context.
