DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in WebUI in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop before 151.0.7922.72 stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input in a WebUI component, letting a remote attacker on the same network segment potentially break out of the renderer sandbox via malicious network traffic. Google rates the Chromium severity as Medium and vendor-tagged intelligence flags it as 'Potential RCE'; a vendor patch is available, but no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.17%, 6th percentile). CISA SSVC records no observed exploitation and only partial technical impact.

Technical ContextAI

Chrome's WebUI is the internal chrome:// interface layer (settings, downloads, new-tab, etc.) implemented with privileged HTML/JS bindings that bridge the sandboxed renderer to higher-privilege browser-process functionality. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): a WebUI surface accepts network-sourced data without adequately validating it, and because WebUI pages hold Mojo/browser-process bindings, a validation gap there can be leveraged to cross the renderer sandbox boundary. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*, i.e. the Chrome desktop browser application across affected builds prior to 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 151.0.7922.72 - upgrade to that Stable channel build or later on all desktop platforms, then fully relaunch the browser so the new binary loads (Chrome staged updates do not take effect until restart). Verify via chrome://settings/help and, in managed fleets, confirm the auto-update policy is enabled and not pinned to an older version. Details are in the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Because exploitation is network-adjacent, an interim compensating control is to keep untrusted devices off the same LAN segment as sensitive workstations and restrict/monitor local network traffic to browsers; this reduces the adjacent-attacker surface but does not fix the underlying WebUI validation flaw, so patching remains the durable remedy.
