Use after free in Input in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.186 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

A flaw was found in Google Chrome. A remote attacker, who has already compromised the browser's renderer process, could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability. This can be achieved by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to perform a sandbox escape, potentially gaining elevated privileges or further access to the underlying system.

This Important use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's input processing could lead to a sandbox escape. While requiring a prior compromise of the renderer process and user interaction with a specially crafted HTML page, successful exploitation allows an attacker to bypass security boundaries, potentially gaining elevated privileges or further access to the system. https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-16804 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-16804 https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01320465736.html https://issues.chromium.org/issues/524721670
