Impact
The Chrome Keyboard component’s inappropriate implementation permits a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML into a crafted web page. This flaw enables malicious code to execute in the context of the user’s browser session, potentially resulting in credential theft, session hijacking, or visual defacement. The weakness is classified as a cross‑site scripting vulnerability (CWE‑79) and an inadequate input filtering issue (CWE‑358).
Affected Systems
Google Chrome versions before 149.0.7827.53 are affected; the update fixed in the stable channel was released in June 2026.
Risk and Exploitability
Chromium rates the issue as a CVSS 6.1 vulnerability. The EPSS score is below 1 %, indicating a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is a remote attacker delivering a specially crafted HTML page that takes advantage of the keyboard handling code, requiring only a page load or user interaction to trigger execution.
