CVE-2026-113292
Description
A flaw was found in Google Chrome's Omnibox component. A remote attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution within the browser's sandbox (an isolated security environment) by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page. This vulnerability stems from improper input validation when processing input.
Statement
Red Hat has evaluated this vulnerability as Important because an unauthenticated remote attacker can execute code within the browser sandbox if an end user visits a maliciously crafted web page. While exploitation enables remote code execution without prior authentication, the blast radius is restricted by sandbox boundaries and requires user interaction, preventing direct compromise of the underlying operating system. Additionally, Chromium is not distributed as part of core Red Hat Enterprise Linux offerings, confining impact primarily to community-supported channels like 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.
