Impact
A flaw in the validation of untrusted input within the WebShare component of Google Chrome for macOS allowed a remote attacker who had already compromised the renderer process to craft a malicious HTML page that could potentially escape the renderer sandbox. The weakness is a classic input validation failure (CWE‑20) that could lead to execution of arbitrary code with higher privileges. The official Chromium severity rating for this issue is High.
Affected Systems
Google Chrome for macOS versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 are affected. Versions equal to or newer than 149.0.7827.53 contain the fix and are not vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
An attacker must obtain code‑execution or some other foothold within the renderer process and then serve a specially crafted HTML page to trigger the sandbox escape. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Despite the lack of recent exploitation data, the CVSS score of 8.3 and the remote nature of the flaw make it a significant risk for users running affected Chrome versions.
