CVE-2026-76018
Description
A flaw was found in Google Chrome's Import component. A remote attacker, leveraging social engineering tactics, could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted file. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege elevation, allowing the attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser's security sandbox.
Statement
Red Hat does not ship Google Chrome or Chromium as part of any supported Red Hat product. Chromium is available through EPEL, which is community-maintained and outside Red Hat's production support scope. Electron is shipped in some Red Hat products (podman-desktop, RHEL 10), but the affected Import component is Chrome browser-specific UI functionality not present in Electron's embedded Chromium engine.
