Exploitation Conditions

Target must be running Google Chrome on macOS at a version below 149.0.7827.103, and the victim must perform user interaction by loading attacker-controlled HTML in that browser (UI:R in the CVSS vector). No authentication or prior foothold is required (PR:N), and the attack is delivered over the network (AV:N) at low complexity (AC:L). The exploitation path runs through the CameraCapture subsystem reachable from the renderer; non-Mac Chrome builds are not listed as affected in the provided data, and Chromium forks are out of scope of this CVE unless their vendors confirm inheritance.

Impact

Signals are largely aligned toward serious risk: CVSS 9.6 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a low-complexity, network-reachable, unauthenticated attack with cross-component impact, and the affected primitive (sandbox escape) is exactly the class Google rates 'High' internally. The single mitigating factor in the vector is UI:R - a user must visit attacker-controlled content. EPSS and CISA KEV data were not provided in the input, so probability of exploitation and active-exploitation status cannot be quantified here; treat as 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' until KEV or exploit telemetry says otherwise. The 'Denial Of Service' tag conflicts with the H/H/H impact and sandbox-escape framing in the description - the description is the more authoritative signal, and the tag should not be used to downgrade priority. Net assessment: this is a real priority for any Mac fleet running Chrome, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk case, given the sandbox-escape consequence and trivial delivery (visit a page).

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a malicious HTML page (or injects it via a malvertising chain) that, when visited by a Mac user running an unpatched Chrome, drives the WebRTC/getUserMedia surface in a way that triggers the use-after-free in CameraCapture. By spraying the freed allocation with attacker-controlled data the attacker corrupts a freed object's vtable or callback pointer, gaining code execution that escapes the renderer sandbox (S:C in the CVSS vector) and runs in a more privileged Chrome process context. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the bug class and the existence of the Chromium issue tracker entry make weaponization by skilled researchers plausible.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 09, 2026

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome for Mac (versions prior to 149.0.7827.103) stems from a use-after-free condition in the CameraCapture component, enabling a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page. With a CVSS of 9.6 (scope-changed, high impact across CIA) and an upstream fix released by Google, the bug carries high severity but requires user interaction to load the malicious page; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Primary fix: upgrade Google Chrome on macOS to 149.0.7827.103 or later (vendor-released patch confirmed by Google via the Chrome Releases Stable Channel post at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html); on managed fleets, force-restart Chrome so the staged update actually loads. If patching is briefly delayed, compensating controls include blocking camera access in Chrome via enterprise policy (VideoCaptureAllowed=false or DefaultMediaStreamSetting=2), which neutralizes the vulnerable CameraCapture code path at the cost of breaking legitimate WebRTC/video-conferencing use cases, and steering users to a non-Chromium browser on macOS for untrusted browsing until rollout completes. Generic web-filtering of unknown sites reduces exposure but does not address the underlying use-after-free. Chromium-derived browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) should be checked against their own vendor advisories, as they typically inherit this fix on a short delay.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw resides in CameraCapture, the Chromium subsystem responsible for handling camera input via getUserMedia / WebRTC media stream APIs on macOS. CWE-416 (Use After Free) indicates that an object backing a camera capture session is freed while another code path still holds a dangling reference, allowing the attacker to coerce reuse of that memory and corrupt control data. Because the bug lives in code that bridges renderer requests to platform media APIs, successful exploitation pivots from the sandboxed renderer into more privileged browser/process context - consistent with the scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector and Google's classification as a sandbox escape.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Google Chrome for Mac versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 contains a critical sandbox escape vulnerability (CVE-2026-11654, CVSS 9.6) in the CameraCapture component that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the browser context by directing users to a malicious webpage. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the primary risk stems from social engineering and drive-by attacks targeting Mac-based employees. Organizations must deploy the patched version immediately to prevent potential data exfiltration and system compromise.

Attack Technique

Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
