Inappropriate implementation in SafeBrowsing in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to bypass Safe Browsing via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
SafeBrowsing protection mechanism bypass in Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to deliver malicious files that evade Chrome's built-in phishing and malware detection layer. The bypass is triggered through user interaction - such as visiting a crafted page or downloading a manipulated file - without requiring any special privileges or configuration. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS is 0.02% (4th percentile), indicating low current exploitation probability; however, successful exploitation silently removes a critical user-facing protection layer, enabling downstream malware delivery.
Technical ContextAI
Google Chrome's SafeBrowsing subsystem performs real-time checks of URLs and downloaded files against Google's threat intelligence database, generating user-visible warnings for known malicious content. This vulnerability is classified as CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure), indicating the safeguard exists but is implemented incorrectly such that a specially crafted file can circumvent the check entirely. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) confirms the flaw is remotely triggerable, requires no attacker authentication or elevated privilege, and necessitates only standard user interaction (file download or page navigation). The scope is unchanged, meaning the bypass does not itself escape Chrome's sandbox. Affected products per EUVD cover all Chrome desktop builds prior to 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
The vendor-released patch is Chrome version 149.0.7827.53, available via the stable channel update announced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will deploy this automatically for most consumer installations; enterprise administrators should verify rollout through Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Google Admin Console, or applicable Group Policy. No effective in-product workaround exists - disabling SafeBrowsing would eliminate the protection entirely rather than remediate the bypass. As a compensating control pending patch deployment, organizations should ensure independent web content filtering (e.g., Secure Web Gateway or DNS filtering) and endpoint detection with file scanning are active to provide a redundant layer of malicious file detection outside Chrome's native protection. Note that these compensating controls add operational overhead and may not match the coverage breadth of SafeBrowsing.
