Remote crafted page (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) requires the victim to open it (UI:R); a successful HID RCE chain yields full C/I/A impact within the browser sandbox scope (S:U).
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Insufficient policy enforcement in HID in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome desktop versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 stems from insufficient policy enforcement in the WebHID component, letting a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page break out of intended HID access controls and run arbitrary code. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) but no authentication, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.21% (12th percentile). Notably, Google rates the Chromium security severity as 'Low' while the NVD-style CVSS is 8.8, a discrepancy worth weighing when prioritizing.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw lives in Chrome's WebHID (Human Interface Device) implementation, the browser API that lets web pages communicate with connected HID peripherals such as keyboards, gamepads, and specialized USB devices. CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) identifies the root cause: security policy that should gate HID access is enforced insufficiently or in a bypassable place, allowing a page to reach device or memory functionality it should not. Because Chromium underpins Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and Electron apps, the same code path may affect the broader Chromium ecosystem, though only Google Chrome is named here with fix version 150.0.7871.47.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms via the built-in updater (Help > About Google Chrome) and relaunch to apply, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. In managed environments, push the update through your endpoint management or enforce it via the RelaunchNotification and TargetVersionPrefix policies. As a compensating control until patched, disable WebHID exposure by setting the DefaultWebHidGuardSetting enterprise policy to block (value 2), which prevents pages from requesting HID device access - trade-off: legitimate web apps relying on HID hardware (security keys managed via HID, some conferencing or gaming peripherals) will stop working. Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding Chromium refresh once available.
