CVE-2019-13690Network attack vector

OS-level privilege escalation

Published Aug 25, 2023 · Updated May 2, 2025

Inappropriate OS implementation in Google Chrome on ChromeOS before 75.0.3770.80 allows remote attackers to gain OS-level privileges. Google has not published the affected OS routine or the incorrect operation it performs on the malicious file. Exploitation requires user interaction with that file and gives remote attackers control beyond the browser's normal privilege boundary.
