Description
Insufficient policy enforcement in Sandbox in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is insufficient policy enforcement in Chrome’s sandbox on macOS, permitting a renderer process that has already been compromised to craft a malicious HTML page that could escape the sandbox. The weakness involves insufficient policy enforcement (CWE‑653) and is also associated with CWE‑693. If exploited, the attacker would gain the privileges of the compromised renderer process. No additional privilege escalation beyond that process is described in the data.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers for macOS running versions older than 150.0.7871.47 are impacted; newer releases contain the fix announced in the stable‑channel update for the desktop release.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 designates this CVE as Critical. The EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is only exploitable after an attacker has already compromised the renderer process; the sandbox escape then gives them the privileges of that process. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, and no large‑scale exploitation is apparent.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 150 or newer – this patch addresses both policy enforcement (CWE‑653) and protection mechanism failure (CWE‑693).
  • Enforce strict sandbox policies for renderer processes via enterprise policy or Chrome flags, ensuring that the browser limits renderer privileges and mitigates the CWE‑693 protection failure.
  • Deploy a Web Content filtering solution to detect or block malicious HTML content that could target renderer processes, reducing the chance of initial renderer compromise and indirectly addressing the CWE‑653 issue.
