Insufficient policy enforcement in Sandbox in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Linux prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to potentially break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page when a user visits an attacker-controlled site. The flaw stems from insufficient policy enforcement in the Linux sandbox implementation and carries a high CVSS of 9.6 due to scope change, though Chromium itself rates the security severity as Low. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.03%.
Technical ContextAI
Google Chrome employs a multi-process architecture in which untrusted web content is rendered inside a sandboxed process that, on Linux, relies on seccomp-bpf filters, user namespaces, and Chromium's setuid/namespace sandbox helpers to restrict syscalls and kernel attack surface. CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) indicates the sandbox's policy layer did not adequately enforce a restriction, allowing renderer-side code to reach resources or capabilities outside the sandbox boundary. The CPE/affected-version data narrows the issue specifically to Linux builds of Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53, implying a platform-specific gap in policy enforcement rather than a cross-platform Chromium core bug.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on Linux to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which is the vendor-released patch identified in the Chrome Releases stable-channel update at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. In managed environments, push the update via your endpoint management tooling and verify rollout by inspecting chrome://version on Linux clients. If patching is delayed, compensating controls include restricting browsing to trusted sites via enterprise policy (URLBlocklist/URLAllowlist), enabling Site Isolation (already on by default but verify chrome://flags#enable-site-per-process), and disabling renderer features unnecessary for the workload - recognizing that none of these defeat a successful sandbox escape and the only durable mitigation is the patch. Removing user-namespace support at the kernel level would break Chromium's sandbox entirely and is not recommended.
