Insufficient policy enforcement in USB in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop before 150.0.7871.47 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the renderer sandbox by abusing insufficient policy enforcement in the browser's USB (WebUSB) handling, delivered through a crafted HTML page. The flaw is rated Medium by Chromium but carries a high CVSS (8.3) due to the scope change from renderer to browser process; EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. A vendor patch is available in the June 2026 Stable channel update.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability lives in Chrome's USB subsystem, most likely the WebUSB device-access path that a renderer can reach through Mojo IPC to the privileged browser process. CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) indicates the root cause is not memory corruption but a failure to correctly enforce a security policy - here the checks that should confine what a renderer may do with USB device access. Because the renderer sandbox relies on the browser process to enforce these policies, a gap in enforcement allows a renderer that is already under attacker control to reach functionality outside its trust boundary, producing the CVSS scope change (S:C). No CPE strings were supplied; affected products are identified from EUVD as Chrome builds prior to 150.0.7871.47 across the desktop Stable channel.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the June 2026 Stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); restart the browser to complete the update since Chrome staged updates only apply on relaunch. Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron apps) should take the corresponding vendor build once available. Where immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by disabling WebUSB through enterprise policy - the DefaultWebUsbGuardSetting policy set to 2 (block) prevents sites from requesting USB access, with the trade-off that legitimate WebUSB workflows (hardware security keys configured via WebUSB, device-management web apps) will break. Because the bug requires a compromised renderer first, keeping Chrome's site isolation enabled and avoiding untrusted sites further limits realistic reachability.
