CVE-2026-126906
Description
A flaw was found in chromium-browser. A race condition in the Extensions subsystem allows a remote attacker who has compromised the renderer process to obtain sensitive information. By transmitting crafted network traffic, an attacker can exploit this timing flaw to access unauthorized data.
Statement
Red Hat rates this vulnerability as having a Moderate impact because an attacker must already possess code execution within a compromised renderer process to attempt triggering the race condition. Furthermore, upstream reports restrict the vulnerability to the macOS platform build of Google Chrome, indicating minimal to no exposure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments. Sandboxing and multi-process boundary enforcement in typical enterprise Linux deployments further mitigate the potential for unauthorized data disclosure.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
