CVE-2026-10980
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInsufficient validation of untrusted input in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass same origin policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Chrome version via Settings menuOpen Chrome, click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner, select Help, then select About Google Chrome. The version number is displayed on that page.Affected if The displayed version number is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 149.0.7827.50 or earlier)
-
Check Chrome version via internal settings pageIn the Chrome address bar, navigate to chrome://settings/help and press Enter. The version information appears on this page.Affected if The version shown is lower than 149.0.7827.53
-
Compare your version to the affected rangeTake the version number you found and compare it numerically against 149.0.7827.53. Ensure all four number segments are considered in the comparison.Affected if Any version below 149.0.7827.53 indicates the browser contains the vulnerability
Your environment is affected if Google Chrome is installed with a version number lower than 149.0.7827.53, as this is the only condition specified in the affected products and versions.
