Incorrect authorization in Sandbox in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allows a remote attacker who has first compromised the renderer process to break out of Chrome's sandbox and execute arbitrary code at the OS level via a crafted HTML page. Rooted in CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), the Chrome sandbox fails to correctly enforce permission checks on requests originating from a compromised renderer, permitting privilege escalation beyond the sandbox boundary. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit a crafted HTML page in a vulnerable version of Chrome (any version prior to 152.0.7977.65), satisfying the UI:R requirement. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects the potential for full system compromise with scope change, but the AC:H and UI:R metrics indicate meaningful exploitation friction: the attacker must both socially engineer a page visit and first achieve renderer compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that first triggers a renderer process vulnerability to achieve renderer compromise, then leverages the incorrect sandbox authorization flaw in CVE-2026-79218 to escape Chrome's sandbox and execute code in the context of the logged-in OS user. The victim must visit the malicious page (UI:R), at which point the two-stage chain - renderer compromise followed by sandbox escape - executes silently. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Chrome 152.0.7977.65. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
