High CVSS 8.4
CVE-2026-17877
Inappropriate implementation in Chromoting in Google Chrome on Linux prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a local attacker to perform OS-level privilege escalation via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Privilege handling is faulty, so an account ends up with more rights than intended.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
