AI Analysis

Impact

Insufficient policy enforcement in Chrome's Linux sandbox allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that may lead to a sandbox escape. The likely attack vector is that a victim opens such a page, for example via phishing or social engineering. If the escape succeeds, the attacker could execute code with the privileges of the browser process, potentially compromising system integrity. The specific assets or actions available after the escape are not explicitly defined in the provided data.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome running on Linux systems using the stable channel is affected if the version is older than 149.0.7827.53. All Linux distributions that install Chrome from the regular release channel before this update are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 classifies this vulnerability as critical. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, indicating a very low but nonzero exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely exploitation path is that a remote attacker serves a crafted HTML page that a victim opens, possibly via phishing. If the attacker successfully escapes the sandbox, they could execute code with the browser process’s privileges, potentially escalating privileges and compromising the system. These exploitation details are inferred from the description and standard sandbox escape behaviors.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or newer on all Linux machines.
  • Restrict exposure to untrusted HTML content by applying strict content security policies and, if possible, disabling or limiting JavaScript for sites that are not verified.
  • Monitor system activity for unexpected processes or privilege escalation events that may indicate a sandbox escape.
