Same Origin Policy Bypass in Google Chrome Input

IdentifiersCVE-2026-12453CWE-20

CVE-2026-12453 is a high-severity vulnerability in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.155 caused by insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Input component. According to the provided advisory text, a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can use a crafted HTML page to bypass the browser's same origin policy. The issue is described as an input-validation failure rather than a memory-safety bug, and the vulnerable condition enables cross-origin restrictions to be circumvented from a compromised renderer context.

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 an attacker with renderer-process compromise to bypass same origin policy protections. This can enable unauthorized cross-origin access and weaken browser security boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data from other origins and facilitating further exploit chaining. Broader vendor advisories for the affected Chromium release note possible security restriction bypass and sensitive information disclosure impacts.

Mitigation

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

No specific workaround is provided in the supplied advisories beyond updating. As a temporary risk-reduction measure, reduce exposure to malicious web content and apply defense-in-depth controls such as browser isolation and endpoint protections, but these do not replace patching.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.155 or later. For Chromium on Debian, upgrade to 149.0.7827.155-1~deb13u1 on Debian stable (trixie) or 149.0.7827.155-1~deb12u1 on Debian oldstable (bookworm). For Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), upgrade to version 149.0.4022.80 or later, which incorporates the Chromium fix.
