DescriptionCVE.org

Improper input validation in Printing 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Printing subsystem prior to 152.0.7977.65 allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code outside Chrome's sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This is a two-stage, chained exploit: the printing component's failure to validate renderer-supplied input (CWE-20) becomes the second link used to break containment and reach the host OS. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two distinct prerequisites that must both be satisfied. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.3 High score (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects severe potential impact tempered by meaningful attack prerequisites. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate renderer-process vulnerability - such as a JavaScript engine or DOM memory corruption bug - to gain code execution within Chrome's sandboxed renderer when a target visits a malicious or attacker-controlled webpage. From within the compromised renderer, the attacker triggers a print operation and passes maliciously crafted input to the Chrome Printing subsystem, exploiting the improper input validation to achieve code execution outside the sandbox and at the host OS privilege level. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, the vendor-confirmed patched release per the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Chrome deployments across the organization and identify systems running versions prior to 152.0.7977.65, prioritizing workstations and servers with elevated access. …
