Severity by source
Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Kept AV:N/UI:R/S:C but raised to AC:H because a successful attack depends on first achieving a separate renderer compromise, a substantial precondition beyond a single request.
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 validation of untrusted input in Passwords in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 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 versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, chaining into the higher-privileged browser process. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Passwords component (CWE-20) and is rated Medium by Chromium despite an NVD CVSS of 9.6. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - this is a sandbox-escape primitive, not an initial-access bug, so a separate first-stage renderer exploit is a hard prerequisite. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker first lands a separate renderer-compromise exploit when the victim visits a malicious or compromised web page, then uses this flaw to send crafted input from the controlled renderer to the browser process's Passwords handling and escape the sandbox into the higher-privileged process. Because UI:R applies, the victim must open the attacker's crafted HTML page. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel and restart the browser to apply it (Chrome auto-updates but requires a relaunch to complete); see the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
