Incorrect authorization in USB in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process and leveraged social engineering to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape via incorrect USB authorization in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code outside the Chrome sandbox through a crafted HTML page combined with social engineering. The attack chain is multi-stage: the USB subsystem fails to correctly authorize renderer-process requests, enabling a scoped privilege escalation out of the sandbox (S:C in CVSS). …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two chained conditions: (1) the attacker must already have achieved code execution within the Chrome renderer process via a separate, independently exploited vulnerability - this is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description, not an optional condition; and (2) social engineering must be used to facilitate the crafted HTML page interaction, confirmed by UI:R in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVSS 8.3 (High) with S:C (scope change) correctly captures the sandbox-escape nature of this flaw, but the AC:H and UI:R modifiers are critical context: exploitation is not straightforward. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
