CRITICAL 9.6

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in AI 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: Low)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop before 151.0.7922.72 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out to higher-privileged browser context via a crafted HTML page, rooted in insufficient validation of untrusted input in the AI component (CWE-20). NVD rates it CVSS 9.6 while Google labels the Chromium security severity 'Low', reflecting that renderer compromise is a hard prerequisite; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.17%. A vendor patch is available and CISA SSVC records exploitation as none.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw sits in Chrome's AI subsystem and is classified CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), meaning data crossing a trust boundary is consumed without adequate checks. In Chromium's multi-process architecture the renderer runs untrusted web content inside a sandbox, and the privileged browser process is meant to be isolated from it; a sandbox escape defeats that boundary. The affected code path processes untrusted input reaching the AI feature from an already-hostile renderer, allowing that content to influence higher-privilege logic. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies all Chrome builds prior to 151.0.7922.72 on the desktop stable channel.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72 - upgrade Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable Channel desktop update and restart the browser to apply it, as described at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome auto-updates by default, so confirm the update actually installed (chrome://settings/help) across managed fleets rather than assuming it applied. Until patched, reduce exposure by ensuring users restart browsers promptly and, where the affected AI feature is governed by enterprise policy, disabling it removes the vulnerable code path at the cost of losing that functionality; because exploitation also requires a separate renderer compromise, keeping site isolation enabled and avoiding untrusted browsing meaningfully limits the practical attack surface.
