CVE-2026-11013
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 Network in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
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 analysis · high confidenceInsufficient validation of untrusted input in the Network component of Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory by serving a crafted HTML page.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Google Chrome versionOpen chrome://version in the Chrome address bar and note the version number displayed under 'Google Chrome' (e.g., 149.0.7827.53). Alternatively, click Help > About Google Chrome.Affected if The installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 148.x.x.x or earlier)
-
Confirm Network component usageThe Network component is a core Chrome component used for all HTTP/HTTPS requests. No additional feature check is required as it is always active in normal browser operation.Affected if Any version below 149.0.7827.53 has the vulnerable Network component code
-
Verify attack surface exposureThis vulnerability is triggered when a user visits a malicious webpage OR if an attacker has already compromised the renderer process. Check browser history for untrusted or suspicious site visits around the time of concern.Affected if The browser accessed untrusted HTML pages while running a version below 149.0.7827.53
You are affected if Google Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 and the browser can access untrusted web content (which is the default behavior for browsing).
