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 · unedited
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in SiteIsolation in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape 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 · moderate confidence

This is a sandbox escape vulnerability in Google Chrome's SiteIsolation feature on Windows. A remote attacker who has first compromised the renderer process can exploit insufficient validation of untrusted input to escape the Chrome sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability affects Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53.

MitigationUpdate Google Chrome for Windows to version 149.0.7827.53 or later to patch the SiteIsolation validation flaw. Organizations should deploy the update through their endpoint management systems and verify compliance.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Chrome is installed on Windows
    Check if Google Chrome exists in the system. Common paths: C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. Alternatively, run 'Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue' in PowerShell.
    Affected if Chrome is not installed on the system.
  2. Retrieve the installed Chrome version
    Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://version, or run 'chrome.exe --version' from Command Prompt, or check the version property of chrome.exe in File Explorer.
    Affected if Unable to retrieve a Chrome version number.
  3. Compare against vulnerable version range
    Compare the installed version to the affected range: versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 on Windows are vulnerable. The full version string typically appears as something like 149.0.7827.53 or lower.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 148.0.5352.71).
  4. Confirm the operating system is Windows
    This vulnerability specifically affects Windows. Run 'winver' or check system properties to confirm the OS. Chrome on other platforms (macOS, Linux) are not affected by this specific CVE.
    Affected if The system is not running Windows.

The environment is affected if Google Chrome for Windows is installed with a version lower than 149.0.7827.53, and the attacker has already compromised the renderer process to exploit the SiteIsolation validation flaw.
