CVE-2026-13893
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 WebUI in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via malicious network traffic. (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 confidenceInsufficient validation of untrusted input in Google Chrome's WebUI component allows a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via malicious network traffic. The vulnerability stems from improper input handling in the WebUI that fails to properly enforce same-origin policy, potentially exposing sensitive data from other origins to an attacker-controlled context.

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.
-
Identify Chrome installation locationLocate the Chrome executable (chrome.exe on Windows, Google Chrome.app on macOS, or chrome on Linux) - typically in Program Files (Windows), /Applications (macOS), or /usr/bin (Linux)Affected if Chrome is installed on the system
-
Determine installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome, click the three-dot menu, select Help > About Google Chrome, or navigate to chrome://settings/help. The version number is displayed on that page.Affected if Version number displayed is less than 150.0.7871.47 (for example, 150.0.7871.0, 149.x.x.x, or any earlier version)
-
Confirm WebUI component is reachableThis vulnerability affects the WebUI component handling network traffic. Verify Chrome can process network requests by attempting to load any website. The WebUI processes URLs including chrome:// URLs.Affected if Chrome processes network requests and the WebUI component is active (default behavior)
-
Check for same-origin policy enforcementThe vulnerability allows cross-origin data leakage via the WebUI. This is a built-in component behavior. No specific configuration toggle exists to enable or disable this. The flaw exists in how Chrome processes certain WebUI requests.Affected if Chrome's WebUI handles network traffic (this is default behavior for any Chrome installation)
A user is affected if they have Google Chrome installed with a version number less than 150.0.7871.47 and use Chrome to browse the web, as the vulnerable WebUI component processes network traffic by default.
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.
dbcve · scoped150.0.7871.47
Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later. For enterprise environments, deploy the browser update through standard patch management processes and verify coverage across managed endpoints.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or later
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/help to check for updates
- Chrome will automatically check for and download the latest version. If version 150.0.7871.47 or later is available, click 'Update Google Chrome'
- After the update completes, click 'Relaunch' to restart Chrome and apply the security fix
- Alternatively, download the latest stable Chrome version directly from the official Google Chrome website if automatic updates are unavailable
