Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a serious Chrome on Android memory-safety flaw in Autofill. A malicious web page could potentially help an attacker escape Chrome’s sandbox after a user visits it. The CVE rates it 9.6 critical, although Chromium labels the security severity High.
Executive priority
Treat as urgent for Android fleets because sandbox escape weaknesses can materially raise browser compromise impact. Prioritize rapid update compliance, but avoid claiming active exploitation unless new vendor or KEV evidence appears.
Technical view
CVE-2026-15113 is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome Autofill on Android before 150.0.7871.115. The stated impact is potential sandbox escape via crafted HTML, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, user interaction required, changed scope, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Google Chrome on Android versions before 150.0.7871.115. The bundle does not prove impact to desktop Chrome or other Chromium-based browsers, despite one Chrome Releases reference using a desktop-channel URL.
Exploitation context
No active exploitation is stated in the provided sources, and the CVE is not marked KEV. The described attack requires user interaction with a crafted HTML page. Public exploit availability is not established by the source bundle.
Researcher notes
The provided data has a platform/reference mismatch: the CVE text says Chrome on Android, while one release URL is labeled desktop. Base exposure decisions on the CVE description unless Google clarifies scope. The Chromium issue may contain restricted details.
Mitigation direction
- Update Chrome on Android to 150.0.7871.115 or later where available.
- Prioritize managed Android fleets, BYOD profiles, and high-risk users.
- Check Google Chrome release guidance for any superseding fixed version.
- Restrict outdated Chrome versions through mobile device management where possible.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Android devices for installed Chrome version.
- Confirm Chrome is at least 150.0.7871.115 on managed Android endpoints.
- Review mobile browser telemetry for outdated Chrome populations.
- Check whether vendor guidance adds platform scope or extra mitigations.
