CVE-2026-113162
Description
A flaw was found in chromium-browser. Due to improper input validation in the Actor component, a remote attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code within the browser's restricted sandbox environment by convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML page.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as an Important severity for Red Hat because it allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within the renderer process simply by enticing a user to visit an untrusted page. Although the payload remains confined within the application's sandbox, compromising the sandboxed process provides a foothold for multi-stage attacks. Furthermore, Chromium is not shipped in core Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases and is maintained only in community channels such as EPEL and Fedora.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
In some cases, injectable code controls authentication; this may lead to a remote vulnerability.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Gain Privileges or Assume Identity
Injected code can access resources that the attacker is directly prevented from accessing.
Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
When a product allows a user's input to contain code syntax, it might be possible for an attacker to craft the code in such a way that it will alter the intended control flow of the product. As a result, code injection can often result in the execution of arbitrary code. Code injection attacks can also lead to loss of data integrity in nearly all cases, since the control-plane data injected is always incidental to data recall or writing.
Non-Repudiation
Technical Impact: Hide Activities
Often the actions performed by injected control code are unlogged.
