AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-delivered crafted page (AV:N/UI:R) escaping the renderer sandbox is a genuine trust-boundary crossing (S:C) with full C/I/A; PR kept N to match vendor convention despite the renderer-compromise prerequisite.
Primary rating from Vendor (Chrome).

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS 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: High)
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome for iOS before 151.0.7922.72 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, escalating a contained renderer foothold into broader control (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed). Reported internally by the Chrome team under CWE-20 insufficient input validation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.29% (21st percentile), consistent with a chained bug that is not yet weaponized. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the attacker has ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - the sandbox escape is a second stage, not a standalone entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and should be weighed together rather than reading the 9.6 in isolation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A victim on an unpatched Chrome for iOS visits a page hosting a malicious script that first exploits a separate renderer bug to gain code execution inside the sandbox, then serves crafted HTML/input that triggers CVE-2026-17684 to escape the sandbox into the more privileged browser context. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the attack depends on chaining with a working renderer exploit, so this remains a plausible but currently theoretical scenario. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome for iOS to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store; this is the primary and complete fix, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
