CVE-2026-11250
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 · uneditedInappropriate implementation in DevTools 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: Low)
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 confidenceThis CVE concerns an inappropriate implementation in Chrome's DevTools component that allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability exists in Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53.

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.
-
Verify Google Chrome is installedCheck for Chrome installation by looking for chrome.exe in common locations (e.g., C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\) or by running 'google-chrome --version' or 'chrome --version' in the terminalAffected if Chrome is not found on the system, meaning this CVE does not apply
-
Determine installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/help, or run 'google-chrome --version' / 'chrome --version' in command line, or check the version property of chrome.exe via file propertiesAffected if Unable to determine the version - cannot assess vulnerability status
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the installed version number to 149.0.7827.53. The version format is major.build.patch (e.g., for 148.0.2345.12, major=148, build=2345, patch=12)Affected if Installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (e.g., 148.x.x.x or lower) AND the Chrome renderer process has been compromised by an attacker - both conditions must be true for exploitation
A user is affected if their installed Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 AND an attacker has already compromised the Chrome renderer process, allowing the attacker to use DevTools memory inspection to extract sensitive data.
