Same-Origin Policy Bypass in Google Chrome DevTools

IdentifiersCVE-2026-12024CWE-693

CVE-2026-12024 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome DevTools caused by insufficient policy enforcement. In Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.115, a remote attacker can use a crafted HTML page to bypass the browser's same-origin policy. The issue affects the enforcement of security boundaries in DevTools-related functionality, allowing web content to circumvent origin restrictions that should isolate data and interactions between different sites.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to bypass the same-origin policy within the browser context. This can enable unauthorized cross-origin access to data or interactions that should normally be blocked, potentially resulting in information disclosure and compromise of web security boundaries. Broader downstream impact may depend on what sensitive resources are accessible from the victim's browser session.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

No specific workaround or temporary mitigation was provided in the available advisories. Until patched, reduce exposure by limiting use of untrusted websites and applying browser updates promptly across managed endpoints.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.115 or later. For Debian-based Chromium deployments, apply the vendor security updates: chromium 149.0.7827.114-1~deb12u1 on Debian oldstable (bookworm) or 149.0.7827.114-1~deb13u1 on Debian stable (trixie).
