Technical summary
The vulnerability, CVE-2026-12453, is caused by insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Input component of Google Chrome. This allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to bypass the same origin policy. The same origin policy is a key security feature implemented in web browsers to prevent malicious scripts from one origin from accessing or manipulating data from another origin. By bypassing this policy, an attacker could potentially access or manipulate sensitive data belonging to the user, leading to privacy and security breaches.
