CVE-2026-13875
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 GPU in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 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 input validation in Chrome's GPU component on Windows allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to read sensitive data from process memory via a specially crafted HTML page. This is an information disclosure vulnerability stemming from improper validation of untrusted input in the GPU rendering pipeline.

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.
-
Confirm Chrome is installed on WindowsOpen Command Prompt or PowerShell and run: reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome" or check C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe existsAffected if Chrome is not installed on the Windows system, this specific vulnerability does not apply
-
Retrieve installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome, click the three-dot menu > Help > About Google Chrome, or run chrome --version in Command Prompt, or check the Version value in the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google ChromeAffected if Unable to determine the installed version - without a version number, the affected status cannot be confirmed
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the installed version number (e.g., 150.0.7871.x) to the vulnerable version range: any version below 150.0.7871.46Affected if Installed version is 149.x.x.x or 150.0.7871.45 or lower - the system is running a vulnerable version
-
Verify Windows platformConfirm the operating system is Windows (this vulnerability affects Chrome on Windows only per the CVE description)Affected if The system is running Chrome on macOS or Linux - this specific CVE does not affect those platforms
A system is affected if it runs Google Chrome on Windows with version lower than 150.0.7871.46 - the vulnerability requires a compromised renderer process to be exploitable.

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.
dbcve · scoped150.0.7871.46
Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to patch the vulnerability. Organizations should ensure automated browser update mechanisms are enabled and functioning.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or later for Windows
- Open Google Chrome on Windows
- Navigate to Settings (three dots menu) > Help > About Google Chrome
- Chrome will automatically check for and download the latest version
- Restart Chrome when prompted to complete the update
- Verify the version by returning to About Google Chrome - it should show version 150.0.7871.47 or later
