Remote file delivery (AV:N) but requires the user to open it (UI:R); sandboxed execution keeps scope unchanged (S:U) with high impact confined to the browser process.

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a local attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandboxed arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome for iOS before 150.0.7871.47 lets an attacker who convinces a user to open a malicious file run code inside the browser's sandbox due to insufficient validation of untrusted input. Google rates the Chromium severity High and ships the fix in 150.0.7871.47; EPSS is low (0.15%, 4th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The flaw requires user interaction (opening the file) and, per the description, the resulting execution is confined to the sandbox rather than the underlying OS.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is Google Chrome on Apple iOS, tracked by the Chromium project via issue 517610676. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the browser fails to sufficiently validate untrusted input in a crafted file, allowing that input to corrupt program state and redirect execution. On iOS, Chrome is built on Apple's WebKit engine (per App Store policy), so the affected surface is Chrome's own file/content-handling code paths rather than the Blink/V8 stack used on desktop. The described outcome - code execution 'inside a sandbox' - indicates the primitive is contained by Chrome's process sandbox and does not, by itself, escape to the host operating system.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.47 - upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Apple App Store, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html). Chrome on iOS updates through the App Store, so ensure automatic app updates are enabled and force-update managed fleets through MDM. As an interim compensating control until updates propagate, instruct users not to open untrusted files (downloads, email/AirDrop attachments, shared links) in Chrome and route unknown documents to a viewer or quarantine instead; the trade-off is user friction and reliance on user judgment. Because exploitation requires opening a malicious file, restricting Chrome's handling of files from untrusted sources reduces exposure at the cost of convenience.
