CVE-2026-11682
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 Views in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape 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 analysis · high confidenceAn inappropriate implementation in the Views component of Google Chrome on Linux prior to version 149.0.7827.103 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This is a second-stage vulnerability requiring prior renderer compromise.

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 installed Google Chrome version on LinuxOpen a terminal and run: google-chrome --version or chromium --versionAffected if Version is lower than 149.0.7827.102
-
Verify Chrome is running on LinuxRun: uname -a and check if the kernel is Linux; confirm Chrome installation with: which google-chrome or which chromiumAffected if Chrome is running on a Linux system (this vulnerability only affects Linux)
-
Confirm the Views component is in useThe Views component is a core part of Chrome's UI on Linux. No additional configuration check is needed - it is always active when Chrome runs.Affected if Chrome is running on Linux (Views component is always loaded)
-
Assess renderer compromise riskReview system logs, network monitoring, and browser extension permissions for signs of renderer process compromise. Check for unexpected extensions or scripts.Affected if The renderer process has been compromised (this is a prerequisite for exploitation)
You are affected if you are running Google Chrome on Linux with a version below 149.0.7827.102 and the renderer process has been compromised, allowing a crafted HTML page to escape the sandbox via the Views component.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
